during improvisation, we did the final assessment which we had one line we had to add to our short skit, then we had 3 minutes to prepare then act it out. we also did some warm-up activities like a park bench where two people improvised and add on to people, and 3 things where we go in a circle asking questions and answering without much thought.

 

I use to think improvisation is really hard you need to be trained to be good at it, but now after some experience that improvisation isn’t as hard as I thought it was and it was actually pretty easy as long as you follow the other person.

 

something big I will remember about improvisation is you need to go with the flow and add on to the other person and build a story like that. it will stick with me because adding on to other people keeps the story going.

 

during improvisation, i found trying to make a story and start the improv really hard because i can’t think of a good story to start or tell. something i think i did well was adding on to other people’s stories and making it funnier i guess. i think this can help as an actor or ensemble member because it means we can react to sudden changes and adapt to it.
