Although his goal is to become a well rounded perâ€" former like Robin Williamsâ€" "someâ€" one who can make you laugh and cry all in two hours" â€" improv continues Discovering he enjoyed making high school buddies laugh, he was bitâ€" ten by the comedicbug. Meeting Candy peaked his interest even more and, after spending a year travelling throughout Australia, he enrolled in the University of Western Ontario‘s theatre arts program. His summers were spent attending Second City workshops and classes in Toronto and Edgecombe even wound up at Yale University‘s summer theatre program to make up a credit he missed by failâ€" ing Astronomy. He knows only too well about the occupational hazards of rejection and unemployment but he‘s fallen hard and there‘s no turning back. Despite advice from actor/comedian John Candy not to enter the profession and parents who‘d rather see him follow a more stable route, the 24â€"yearâ€"old has taken the plunge and actually, has whittled an interesting career path since his graduation from Appleby College in 1987. Scott Edgecombe wishes he was involved in an occupation other than acting but "this is where I want to be." By KATHY YANCHUS Oakville Beaver Staff Learn the Edgecombe method of improvising Clhe King‘s Arms 323 Church St. Church Reynolds (in Miller Mews) "I use games that kids might have played in the playground, with variaâ€" tions added to them that help them learn theatre skills," says Edgecombe. "They get the confidence to speak in front of people without realizing it, they learn how to think and create environments which aren‘t there and Edgecombe says he could have remained in New York and pursued acting jobs but chose to return to Canada to pursue his career, and Oakville specifically, to launch a proâ€" gram of theatre game workshops this summer at Appleby. In one and two week sessions, Edgecombe teachs those 8 and over, kids to executives, how to develop self confidence and "improvise in difficult situations." Included are The Oakville Seniors Harmoniâ€"Chords Aug. 18th, The Oakville Regulars Jazz Band and String and Woodwind Ensemble Aug. 19th and The Fiddling Country Cloggers on Aug. 16th. The event is the largest annual seniors entertainment showcase in Canada featuring more than 800 perâ€" formers and more than 80 acts from over 40 communities in Ontario runâ€" ning over four days. The Jubilee begins daily at 11:30 am. with the lobby program of singâ€" aâ€"longs, dancing, mixing and minâ€" gling and at 1 p.m., it‘s showtime in the main auditorium. Tickets may be purchased by callâ€" ing the Roy Thomson box office at 872â€"4255. flTHE FUGITIVE** DAVE "= NOTE:Mdnh-unplaynfldenk. Several.

"People who have seen Improv love it, but not many know about it. It‘s so much fun. Out of all the classes I took in New York, these were the ones I looked forward to. I wouldn‘t come out of it frustrated if I hadn‘t done well; I‘d feel like I had a strong workout â€" because it really is working out, you‘re working your mind." "It‘s a lot of fun knowing you‘ve helped in somebody else‘s developâ€" ment. I want to open peoples‘ eyes to the fun aspect of theatre. I love to teach. I just want to help." At the end of the summer, Edgecombe is also offering a program in the instruction techniques of these theatre games, a course he feels would be of value to teachers and caregivers. they invent characters. The games really expand the imagination. You‘ll find that once the kids have learned theatre games, it helps them learn other skills and pick up things in the classroom much faster and stronger than they used to in the past. I‘ve also had some serious wallflowers at the camps I teach at come out of their shells through this." HELD OVER 2ND WEEK
