Improv Games and Acting Skills, From "Gibberish Blob" to "Game Show Host"
Class experience
A typical day in class: Each class session begins with a short introductory "check-in" (or storytelling) structure related to the theme of the day's class. This is a fun way to break the ice and start to feel comfortable together as we warm up our imaginations, voices and bodies. Next we identify two or three specific skills to focus on for the day. We practice these skills as we play short Improv games and move through a series of acting exercises and challenges. (Focus skills for each...
Students will practice the following 21st century skills: Problem Solving, Interpretation, Creativity, Artistry, Curiosity, Imagination, Innovation, Personal expression, Perseverance, Self-discipline and Adaptability. Students will also practice cooperation, collaboration, communicating ideas clearly using voice, facial expressions, gestures and body, and whole body listening.
As an actor, I love to play and explore. Improv games and structures help me learn through play, and I love sharing that experience with my fellow artists of all ages and at all levels of experience. As a playwright, I find that Improv helps me come up with three-dimensional characters that audiences can laugh with and care about. As a person, Improv makes me smile and helps me every day of my life to navigate all kinds of situations with a sense of humor. I can't wait to share these games and structures with you!
Homework Offered
There is no mandatory homework assignment, however students will leave class with ideas of games to play with friends and family and skills to practice on their own.Assessments Offered
The instructor conducts at least three formative assessments per class session to be sure that each student comprehends and feels confident using our foundational acting and improvisation skills during the warm up exercises before layering new skills and techniques during the second half class. Learning goals are designed with student input, and are clearly stated and referred to throughout the lesson so that students can self-assess and have a structure within which to dare and take creative risks.Grades Offered
Written descriptions of the Improv games we play and structures we use will be provided to each student free of charge, as well as a resource list for learning more about acting and Improv. Please wear clothing that is comfortable and easy to move in during class.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
