CLASS DESCRIPTION

Shy students and outgoing students alike will strive in the 'structured chaos' this class provides.  

Improvisional
Theatre
Games 


Class Description:  Students will play improvisation theatre games. That's right, this class is all about playing games, having a blast, getting a little crazy and laughing until your side hurts. If you've ever watched Whose Line is It Anyway, or Drew Carey's Imrov-A-Ganza, then you have an idea of some of what will be going on (in a pure PG-13 setting of course).   

      Games will teach quick, creative, problem solving, teamwork skills, and confidence. Acting, pantomime, voice, and movement techniques will be studied along with rules of improv, parts of a story, staging techniques, and audience etiquette. Students will build characters, relationships, and environments on an empty stage with very little prompting, exercising their imaginations while enhancing their communication skills.  We will also plan a field trip, with some parent help, to go see the family friendly Comedy Sportz performance.  At the end of the class, students will have an improv performance event.
