    Hello Christian! 

    Spolin specific, we've been doing exercises such as space walks and mirror exercises.  Overall improv game wise, we've been doing Oracle (versus Dr. Know It All due to the lag), Emotional Roller Coaster, Questions, 185, World's Worst, and Try That On For Size and a bazillion others. I've got a great list of compiled online games that we've been working on if you want! Shoot me an e-mail: CC both --  bjcomedy@gmail.com, bjlange@secondcity.com
