O.U. Improv! (Obviously Unrehearsed Improv! or O.U.I! For short) will host its second community workshop Saturday November 6, 2004 from 1pm- 4pm in the Sooner Room of The Oklahoma Memorial Union, 900 Asp Avenue, Norman. The workshop will be led by veteran O.U.I! members and will include important skill building exercises in areas such as mime and the creation of performance space, the five elements of an improv scene, and comedic timing. The event is free and open to the public, but some material may not be suitable for everyone. This marks O.U. Improv's 2nd community workshop of the year, the first of which was held in September. ""The workshops were part of the original mandate of our organization,"" stated Eric Webb, General Manager of O.U. Improv!. ""We feel that it's important to share with others what we have learned about this extraordinary art-form."" Clint Vrazel, O.U.I! co-founder and performer, added, ""This isn't just for people that want to perform in front of audience. There are a lot of skills that one develops in this arena that can be taken back with you into your everyday life. Public speaking, awareness of one's environment of other people, and trusting your own instincts are just of the areas that benefit by participating in a workshop like this."" Understudy member of O.U.I!, Joni Hertz, who depends on the workshops for skill building said, ""The workshops help to enhance my growth as an improv actor. It is a great way to decide if improvisation is right for you."" The group plans on holding the workshops on a monthly basis.

My home PC checks out as being clean. I'll scan my work computer tomorrow, but we're 90% certain that the virus did not come from me. Someone on the list did get the virus though, which spoofed (faked) my e-mail address. If you opened the attachment, I am including a link below to download a removal tool for the virus in question. This is the first time we have ever had this problem on our lists. Hopefully it will be the last. You should all be warned though: this list does not provide its own filtering. Its up to you and your e-mail providers to do that. If you receive an e-mail "from me" that does not have a subject, don't open it. I always include subjects and almost always label them O.U. Improv! Here's the link for more info. on the virus and the removal tool: http:[log in to unmask] Hope this helps. -- Sincerely, Eric Webb Manager/Administrative Coordinator, O.U. Improv!
