I told them we were going to take one day and make them sing for us, because I've got a feeling we've got some really great voices in that class. Improvisation is a three-hour course, an elective for most of the 13 students enrolled in the class this semester. Weaver's students are there because they want to be, even at 8 a.m. The early hour doesn't bother Lawrence. He usually works out in Robinson Center before class.
Most students are less enthusiastic about mornings.
I am not a morning person. I brought three alarm clocks to KU with me. I was afraid that wouldn't be enough, because I had seven at home. That's how hard it is for me to get up. This is the only class I've ever been able to get up for, and when I'm done with it, I'm awake.
