Improv Adult

Overcome yourself 

OVERVIEW 

Improvisation theatre, often called "improv", is a theatrical creation without a pre-written text, without rehearsals by the actors. In improvisational theatre, the actor is (simultaneously) a playwright, director, set designer, and actor. Improvising means bringing together the act of creation and its production at the same time. 

With improv, students can develop:   

• short-term memory   
• constant attention to others   
• a sense of spontaneity   
• awareness of the present moment: accepting it, then transforming it as one pleases   
• alertness   
• ability to get out of one's comfort zone
