Improvisation Lesson One

Well, i really didn't think i would enjoy this "improvisation lark". How quickly one can be proved wrong.


I always feel very stilted and staged whenever im improvising. Theres a tendency (especially when faced with an audience) to feel embarrassed and approach the "can't do it" attitude.
I managed to over come this attitude by facing the fact i was gonna look like an idiot. There was no way round it, and at the end of the day, we were all looking like idiots.


Our first task was to rap. People who know me will know i enjoy rapping (albeit badly) but i think its hilarious especially the less serious you take yourself. With a drumbeat behind us, we were to rap our names in a phrase (Im Jilly. Jilly. I said Jilly its not JELLY its Jilly) - along those lines.


Second task. Scatting. I loathe scatting. And with an open mind, i still loathe scatting. Pretty simple concept but irritating and pointless - in my opinion Si!
