Wednesday – What does humor mean to me? it is happiness to me and enjoyment I think that is something funny and it just makes me feel better. I learnt what humor meant to me and how to apply it to my performing work.
What went well? I became more confident as the process went on. At first I didn’t know anyone and I wasn’t sure how things were gonna work but as I became to understand what was going on I opened up to people and now I have friends.

listen to other peoples ideas and let them speak also. Maybe just ask others for help more.

What types/genes of humor are there? Exaggeration – easy to use take an observation about something and exaggerate it way out of proportions. The more absurd the compassion, the funnier it is. Example: He’s so Dumb he tried to climb mountain dew I literally grew this beard waiting for you. Mark it’s like you wake up with a beer can in your hand every day.
Misdirection – When you lead people to believe a conversation is going one way and then you surprise them by going a completely different way. Example – A: Where are you from? B: Corona. A: Really? I hate corona. my favorite type of beer is Coors life. A: You ever get that feeling, when you find that girl just perfect and you’re hitting it off? A: Yeah, me neither
Storytelling – unexpected punchlines, funny events. Depends on your storytelling skills.
Teasing – Point something out about A person and poke fun at it. You have to be very careful about teasing people because it can easily come off as mocking. Example: You’re dating a girl who’s a germaphobe and she’s wiping down the table before eating. “Are you going to wipe me down before we hold hands.” Have good intentions build comfort first.
Sarcasm – Say something that is obviously opposite of what you’re thinking. Examples: Hi nice to meet you. Beautiful weather, right? Some people won’t get it. emphasize.
Puns – exploit the different possible meanings of a word or words that sound alike but have different meanings. Examples: I’d tell you a chemistry joke, but I know I wouldn’t get a reaction. I used to be a banker, but I lost interest. use them very sparingly.
Roleplay – You pretend to be someone or something else. It’s even more fun when people get what you’re doing and pretend with you. Example: Sober police “this is the Sober police” “are you sober right now” wait… what?” Please step outside of the vehicle. Don’t break character
- never be the first to laugh at your own jokes.
- Adjust your humor to fit the audience.
- nervous body language will kill the fun vibe.
- keep calm and carry on maintain composure
- Avoid talking to fast, don’t fidget, open up your body shows that you’re not nervous, show that it’s all fun and game. Have confident body language and tonally.

week 4 reflection
we learnt a new dance routine in just a week we are now doing the Charleston and we have made up the routines on our own.
I feel like I’ve adapted to fast change and normally I don’t cope with new things, but I feel like I’ve really developed in a good way as time has gone by.
week 5 Monday
This morning we were rehearsing our show that has to be done by Wednesday: We was Practicing our Charleston routines which I think is much better than we first started, basically me, and Lucas enter stage holding hands while running. Then Lucas picks me up by the waist then he puts me down. After we wave at Serish, Toni and Antonio walk out together linking arms. We all do our pieces then when we exit the stage, we go to the sides of the stage to interact with other people. While 1920’s music plays. I’m not as stressed out anymore.
Tuesday, we practiced the routine over and over again and we had to change a few things. Because some people weren’t there so I had to do other people’s roles especially a lift that I wanted to do
