Annoyance Level One - Week Five + iO Level Two - Week Three

I sadly had to miss (and didn't get a chance to make up) thanks to pneumonia.

Though I did find out the next week what I missed from my Annoyance class (I'm going to sit in on Susan's third class next session). Apparently that entire class was devoted to Character work - with some individual feedback on the types of character choices you make. They did character monologues and then after everyone had done one the class did a series of scenes as those characters. Then repeated a couple times so they got to try one a few different characters.
Near the end Dan challenged people into playing characters outside people's normal choices.

My personal notes on characters were that I had great specificity (added a lot of information in scenes a lot of details) - I should try out playing more oafish characters, and try a few characters who spoke only a single line at a time.
