I like games like Living Pictures, Body Hide and Human Knot which promote the class working together.įun: Improv is fun and the class should have fun together. Working together: The more trust there is in the class, the better the improv will be. I suggest group scene creation activities like Opening Line Scenes, Odd Inventions or Prop Scenes. This also starts them thinking about ideas generation in a less confronting way, it also allows groups to be allocated with confident students and encouraging quick storytelling decisions increases improv skills which transfer over.

Creating dialogue spontaneously is a scary thing and I find students feel safer and more free to do so when they start with and are comfortable with partially scripted or prompted group performances (where they get to go away in a group and create a scene together - not on the spot with an audience).
I suggest using energy release whole class circle games like Primal Screams, Exaggeration Circle, Acceptance Circle and Look Up Look Down.Ĭonfidence in dialogue and storytelling: Good improv is about making and accepting offers with dialogue. If you are working with teens, you are also working with children at the stage of their lives when they are naturally self and socially conscious. Good improv is about risk taking - and students need to feel comfortable and free to be able to take creative risks and put themselves out there even in a silly way. It takes time and practice.įreedom and confidence to be silly: This comes with time and practice but it also comes with students feeling open and free to express themselves in the drama classroom environment. Time and practice: unless they are seasoned actors, no class will be great at improv right from the start.
