stand up evening class at CSM- work in progress

i think its useful to put this on here for how i tell stories in different ways. although the outcome is different from stand up to my live art work, i need to reflect on how i work with material that's scripted and that's more spontaneous- this feels like its flows more in the description of nanny's cat objects than in my live art MA work, but i got caught up in projections (the floral tributes are via photos on a screen) and holding internet printouts and holding mic- too much pfaffing. seeing how it feels in saying it rather than writing and re-writing. i have a dictaphone now to help me explore this-all good :) i feel more comfortable, more me working with personal material-keeping nanny, and the floral tributes images form flickr (this is thought of as my best material) back to previous material to explore about being dressed in swimming trunks rather than a swimsuit as a kid, and family trait verging on OCD of being a serial checker-of-things. however, what is happening in being on a taught course, is i'm finding it difficult weeding out comic devices that suit my persona- but i guess unless you test you won't know. but, the thing i really need to address is that i feel i sound more interesting to listen to, i feel here, that i did in the scratch? where's this fit with the past grad forum? comment at the end i like are about getting back to being more deadpan, like at the start of the course (oh to unlearn) and to ensure we all feel we are all right there, in the moment....

listening to this over again, needs to be faster, sharper, more contrasts! wedding cakes- to go- try printing out images A2 to hold up rather than projecting, with written info on the back?- or do i need the images- is the mental visualisation better?
