Series two lesson two of Free Association's improv course is about a thing they call "grounding".

For a scene to be believable, it must be grounded in reality (or in a fantastical scene at least grounded in an emotional truth).

Improvisors can often jump quickly to the bizarre or the outlandish to try and get a laugh, but especially in early in scenes the audience needs to first know who these people are and what is going on and why they should care about any of it.

Three hours of scenes deliberately drilling practice of to have nothing strange or out of context happening, scenes in which everything goes according to expectation and nobody tries to be funny.

A useful skill to drill perhaps, but you can see why Free Association get a reputation for being too serious and not laughing enough.

Three hours of scenes where mostly nothing happens might be the most dull improv evening I've had.

Combining proof-reading with textual markup and manual entity recognition, it becomes the perfect hyper focus activity.
I use #Transkribus for my #HTR and for the last few days, I have been unlucky with the traffic for both model training and text recognition. The queues are long and take a lot of time and I am deprived of my error hunting and current hyper fixation on #Mongolia #BogdKhanate #EasternChina #TravelDiaries #TEI #Encoding

Some work days are fragmented due to meetings or co-working sessions or the nature of the tasks at hand. I don't do well with having my routines and sequences disrupted, and on such days, I will seek activities which have a calming effect and are enjoyable. Proof-reading HTR-results is such an activity: it's monotonous, requires a certain focus and attention to detail while it provides immediate gratification for every error I find and fix.
