Let’s see… The simplest explanation of Improv is that it is theatre without a script. Improvisers act out scenes completely unrehearsed and unscripted. Every show is different and not even the performers know what will happen next. No two shows are alike and it is imposible to do the same show twice!
How this happens is also pretty simple. In short form improv, We take a series of “games” which are pre defined boundaries for the scene to fit into. For each game, we ask for suggestions from the audience (occupations, objects, locations, emotions, characteristics, etc.). These suggestions are incorporated into the scene!
Games include parodies of game shows, talk shows and news casts; events such as interrogations, vacationing and a day in the life of; and scenes with challenging and hilarious stipulations such as only being able to say one word at a time or having to guess the characteristics of another performer.
