And to add a few "newby" experienced improvisers to the soup: Sophie Long, Jason Dunn. </p><p>The beauty of improvisation like Dinner Party is that you can endow others with your own hobbies and foibles (Sophie endowed herself with Alistair's minimalist lifestyle; Jason became a crypto-investor, like some of his friends and acquaintances in his Master's program). </p><p>The whole thing began with a discussion about old technology and took a few twists and turns through emotional blackmail, mis-followed advice and overall love and happiness. </p><p><br /></p><p>This weekend will be just as much fun, but with a live audience! <a href="https://improvtheatresydney.com.au/events/likewise-dinner-party/" target="_blank">Get your tickets now</a>. </p><p>The image is a collaged work by Cindy Tonkin from Old Masters portraits and paintings.

Two new pieces of interesting came into my inbox this week, and they relate to this.<br />
The first is the concept of insights being a combination of general and surprising. I think this is the essence of improv that I love to watch: it's true because it's general. It's funny because it's surprising. Even for the players. You can read this article <a href="http://paulgraham.com/sun.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
Secondly I read a review of Aaron Sorkin's directorial debut film, and they mentioned <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/10744879/Are-you-hooked-on-competence-porn.html" target="_blank">competence porn</a>. It's all about smart people doing smart things. And that's what dinner party is about.<br />
We've finished our run at the Fringe and I'm really grateful to have had such a splendidly competent cast. May our "porn" career be long.<br />
Let's see what general and surprising stuff we'll cook up for next time!<br />

<h3>
We're ready for you to come and see us soon</h3>
We have been jamming to create a lovely improvised show.<br />
Here is a picture*. The drinks are not improvised.<br />

To improvise you a real, true, emotionally satisfying show, we have been mining what friendships means, why we stick with friends even when it's tough, how friendships grow (or wither). And forming friendships ourselves.<br />
Did you know that in the 80's 65% of people had at least 3 close friends to talk to about their problems. And that in 2004 that figure had shrunk to only 37%?<br />
But here's the saddest one: 10% of people in 1984 had no one to talk to about their problems. 25% of people were in that lonely boat in 2004.<br />
<h3>
Let's bring back friendship!</h3>
So we want to bring back friendship.<br />
We want you to remember how cool it is to have friends who stand by you.<br />
We're theming our show that way!<br />

So we have dates for the Sydney Fringe Comedy Festival.<br />
On 4 and 5 September 2017, 7:30pm the Likewise Dinner Party cast shall take the stage in a tiny cottage at <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/RtZYHz31W4M2" target="_blank">Central Park Sydney</a>.<br />
We've been rehearsing, finding out the mechanisms that make friendship work (and what makes it funny).<br />
You'll love it too.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">But what's happening behind the smiles? </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This is an improvised comedy that shows you the hilarious underbelly of our friendships: and how some endure. It's slower improv comedy to tickle your brain, created by improvisers over 30 who have more to laugh at! </span><br />

Anna Renzenbrink from Melbourne will be playing, along with Caspar Schjelbred from Paris/Denmark, Linda Calgaro, me, Dave Tieck, John Knowles and maybe a few more.<br />
In the 3 years since Likewise began, monthly in 2013 at the Roxbury Hotel, and then weekly in 2014, 2015 and 2016, lots has changed in the Sydney improvisation landscape.<br />
In 2013 there were maybe 3 active long form troupes in town. Full Body Contact No Love Tennis was the only long form show in town and it had a limited cast and a particular young demographic.<br />
In November 2015 Likewise hosted 8 active long form troupes (and had applications from 4 more: all different form the original 3 troupes).<br />
I wanted with Likewise to make improvised comedy for "grown ups" - people over 30. I wanted to make cultural allusions that others understood. And to understand the ones my fellow players made.<br />
I wanted to improvise scenes that were true to life from people who had experienced it: marriages, weddings, funerals, baptisms, death and grief and love.<br />
I think we did that.<br />
Who knows that the next incarnation will be?<br />
Until we meet again. Keep improvising.<br />

<div dir="ltr">
So far in the 3 years likewise has been around it has been a carefully curated show. I've chosen players with various biases.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Make way for Stuff and Nonsense!</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Stuff and nonsense has two components. Firstly a curated section of people who i love to see play. Then open jams on stage. This means players of any experience can join in. You'll see super expertise and you'll see people who have never stepped on stage before.<br />
You can just watch (we always love audience) or you can put your name into the hat to try it too.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>To watch turn up at 730 for the show</b>. You'll see the new talent do their level best. It will be funny because by its nature improvisation is unexpected. And that makes you laugh. And some of it will be great!<br />
<b>To play register at 7:20</b>.<br />
There'll be a short show first then the jam will begin!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Here's the new poster for the season.</div>
Look forward to seeing you then.<br />

At likewise we like to constantly improve. So we're trying out some new forms at our rehearsal jams this month. And yes you can't rehearse improv as such. Every show is new and different. I can't find my post on what happens in rehearsal (so maybe I'll do one soon!).<br />
We're improving the show's "hardware" too. In September we got a new backdrop. You've probably seen this photo of Tony Starr's disembodied head poking through the #likewiseshow curtain. </div>

The final night was hilarious: 14 Improvisers (8 women! yay! Women improvising!).<br />

Heaps of pizza, craft beer and fraternising.<br />
We'll be back on January 13, 2015<br />

Watching improv expands your brain, makes you think, laugh and sometimes even go "AWHHH".<br />
If you haven't done it yet, try something new in 2016!<br />

Likewise aims at an audience over 30: I can't say it's always sophisticated, but I can say if you're over 30 you'll get the cultural references. And we don't pick on our audiences: At the worst we ask for a single word. At best you get to relax in the dark and come on a journey with us!<br />
We'll welcome you with open arms<br />

Here is how I cast (today!).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I give preference to those who<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>have completed some long form training (the more, the better)*</li>
<li>actively rehearsing with a troupe or at drop in classes </li>
<li>are improv junkies </li>
<li>are women </li>
<li>have lived more than 30 years</li>
<li>support the show and the improv community</li>
<li>return emails, facebook messages and texts</li>
<li>turn up to rehearsals </li>
<li>show up to shows on time</li>
<li>I like.</li>
</ul>
I am constantly juggling my priorities with casting because I long to be fair, and I also know that the fairest thing I can do to in providing a space for improvisers to play is be happy doing it. So that's why I've added the last criteria!<br />

I dearly want to support improvisers in Sydney, and I dearly want to see and play in excellent improvised scenes. I appreciate all those of you who want to play and who love improv like I love improvising!<br />
I'm very happy to talk to you about how you can become part of the cast. Come see the show and we'll chat!<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Think about it, before there was any recording at all, before the technology was even invented, you had performances, that was the state of the art. You had people going on a Broadway stage, or doing classical music, or virtuoso musicians going up on a stage and playing their thing, and people always went for that, they always liked it. Recording made it possible to put lightning in a bottle, but <b>people were still wanting to see the real deal. </b>And I think that's what separates the men from the boys: when you go out on stage, you've got to be able to do it. You can't fake that. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOn_0Adu0sYxx7OfX_c09wwZGgJ0j-4r6uQTAaoytkC-S9cht8RB1uCbblXkxa2MlRgSTl79qsp6aknK2Xkke52wNCuFGMYPtpXRHXTx-e8FhcQKUuOOQgZ6p9z0SruLNyYzbo9Fu85dgY/s1600/20151125_204210.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOn_0Adu0sYxx7OfX_c09wwZGgJ0j-4r6uQTAaoytkC-S9cht8RB1uCbblXkxa2MlRgSTl79qsp6aknK2Xkke52wNCuFGMYPtpXRHXTx-e8FhcQKUuOOQgZ6p9z0SruLNyYzbo9Fu85dgY/s320/20151125_204210.jpg" width="320" /></a></blockquote>

Come see people tell true stories, and improvise truthful ones. We've got an experienced cast, we're making up drama and comedy and sometimes even tragedy, on the spot. And it's enriching.<br />
It separates the "men" from the "boys", like it separates the canned, over-produced television you may be thinking is the alternative this Wednesday at 7:30 from our Live, Real, True (and funny) show!<br />

What if you can't bend your thumbs, and your best friends are goats?<br />
That was the character (Joanne Collins) played by Amanda Lifford this week at Likewise.<br />
Next week we're returning to the When Harry Met Sally format we love so well.<br />

Over that time two big issues have sprung out at me:<br />
1. The shows are aimed at university aged comedy palates<br />
2. There aren't many women<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZXByVLz-y37YnbH5-P0NSCgvORTGcj1vtOGwJNiJ2QIFclXaNzZbn0j9Rww9td9Nv2oUVpl8nmvf2iChr0pBjR7OPYQnu39h30cIcSOetQt49O-35CgMALgyIrAqRAnUx7C2Nj11CGRZl/s1600/cindy+and+karena+oct+2014+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZXByVLz-y37YnbH5-P0NSCgvORTGcj1vtOGwJNiJ2QIFclXaNzZbn0j9Rww9td9Nv2oUVpl8nmvf2iChr0pBjR7OPYQnu39h30cIcSOetQt49O-35CgMALgyIrAqRAnUx7C2Nj11CGRZl/s320/cindy+and+karena+oct+2014+1.jpg" width="234" /></a></div>
<br />
So when I started Likewise in 2014 I decided to change that.<br />
I make improvisation for grown ups (over 30's), and I aim to have more women on stage.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's swimming against the tide, since for the last 15 years most of the players are men, and many people start improvising when they're young. So some weeks I don't make my ideal.<br />
But every week the players are mostly over 30.<br />
<br />
Who else gets a joke about dancing to Hall and Oates? Cassette tapes? Those weird little taffeta skirts we all wore in the 80's (sorry, way over 30 reference!).<br />

So if you find that most comedy is making pop culture references to a world you don't inhabit (or a world inhabited by your children), but you're still hip enough to want to laugh, come see Likewise.
