Show Notes

Jen and Katrina are LIVE again and hoping that Twitch comments connect to their digital studio. Will it? Time will tell.

What's the word of the day? What's the new photo on the wall gonna be? WHERE IS IT FROM? SUSPENSE! Watch this show to find out.

NOTE: We interviewed me (Jen) as our guest today, and the audio didn't work. Which is EXACTLY why we did the test! Anyway we learnt lots and we will try it again on our road to having real guests. Anyway! That's why you might notice a weird gap in this show.

Also congrats to Luke who guessed where the last week's photo was from! Go Luke!

Jen and Katrina share things about improv that include caring about the scene using a specific exercise that teaches you to treat a scene like you are performing a play, age and acting and pitching pixels into the void, and things they learnt this week on the internet that could be used on the stage. What's the word of the day? Watch this show to find out.
