Theatre-making - like much of life - involves moment to moment evaluation and problem-solving. Improvisational theatre is a performance tradition which joyfully embraces this challenge head-on! In this course, we will immerse ourselves in the practice of this art form. We will create characters, stories and new worlds through tapping our intuition, embracing the unknown, and letting the focus of a theatre game lead us to collective discovery, Guided by the teachings of Viola Spolin, students will seek the bold and the spontaneous in themselves through group agreement. Everybody can improvise!
