We will explore the art of Improv.
What is improv?
Answer. Improv, short for improvisation, is a form of live theater where the actors create scenes and stories spontaneously, without a script or prior planning.
At least that's what AI says it is. We'll find out for ourselves.
We'll do some warn up exercises and then we'll go over some improv basics. Then we'll move on to some improv games. Then after a break, we'll finish with some improv long form.
Beginners Welcome.
If people are interested, we can go to restaurant after. Vuelve a la Vida is a couple of blocks from the Moore Library.
Improv Quote
“There are people who prefer to say ‘Yes’, and there are people who prefer to say ‘No’. Those who say ‘Yes’ are rewarded by the adventures they have, and those who say ‘No’ are rewarded by the safety they attain. There are far more ‘No’ sayers around then ‘Yes’ sayers, but you can train one type to behave like the other. There is a link with status transactions here, since low-status players tend to accept, and high-status players to block.”
― Keith Johnstone
