What is improvisational theater?




Short form                                                                        Long form
  games                                                                             plays

Be okay with the UNKNOWN
LET’S ALL TRY IT!
       Stand up.
  Point at something.
     Say what it is.
Point at something else.
     Say what it is.
Keep Going!
LET’S TRY IT AGAIN!
      Slight twist:
  Point at something.
  Say the first thing
  that comes to mind.
Repeat with new things.
Keep Going!
How did that feel?
• Was it “hard”? Why?
• Did you make rules? (opposites,
  colors, qualities, anything)
• Let’s do it one last time!
• Try faking excitement and shouting
  (pretend you’re a child)
• It doesn’t need to make sense!!!
ONE LAST TIME!

  Point at something.
  Say the first thing
  that comes to mind.
Repeat with new things.
Keep Going!
DO TRY THIS AT HOME!

Notas del editor

  1. NOT SNL, not stand-up. Whose Line is improv, but a very specific type. “Short form” and Long Form”
