Improvisation

We're loving our Tuesday afternoon improvisation lessons with Mike and Laura. We often begin with voice and breathing warm-ups.

Then, we'll play a round of "Pass It," where we pass imaginary objects and words to improvisors around the circle.

Mike and Laura will demonstrate for us a new improv game. The two rules are: 1) Always say yes!  2) Always make your partner look good!

Then, we'll get a chance to break into small groups and try out the game, pushing our improvisation work deeper each week. Sometimes, we'll even perform for the class! Here we're Getting on the Bus. As each new student joins, everyone in the car has to assume the character trait of the entering student. So when Ava entered bored, everyone in the car immediately became bored.

Try out some of the games at home! Play Pass It, Ask the Expert or Job Interview. Experiment with some breathing exercises. What did you try? How did it go?
