Last month, CIC team Cornwallis was joined in rehearsal by Ian, a young man from Paris in town to take a Second City intensive and explore all things improvisational. Ian is a founding member of the only Harold team in Paris, Eux, and a passionate student of improv. He maintains a wonderful blog about improvisation, including a travelogue of his recent journey to North America, which can be read here.
As for Ian’s take on rehearsing with Cornwallis… well, that blog entry was in French, a language I do not speak, but I think this partial babelfish translation of the experience about sums it up. Try to guess which “heating” (warm-up) he’s referring to:
“I could discover new exercises, like the heating where each one made a small scene with its fingers: it is ridiculous, but that starts energy with good mood.”
