- Learn the essential grammar of dramatic improvisations
- Extend primary relationships with other characters
- Develop narrative and dramatic journeys for future story lines that are extraordinary, truthful and exciting.
Principals guiding our work:
- Improvisation
Dramatic improvisation is a big house and lots of different things go on in there. The work we do is outside comedic improvisation. There will be certain conventions that we will use in this project that you need to be familiar with. We focus on a set of basic skills or aptitudes within improvisation practice identified as;
- Responsiveness
- Focus
- Tension
- Progression
There are certain concepts or understandings which will be useful to know and share. A good source of information can be found by reading Chris Johnston’s book ‘The Improvisation Game’
- Theatre of the Oppressed
Although it is not mandatory, if possible we recommend that you read browse or just Google Augusto Boal's books, if you have not done so already—particularly Theater of the Oppressed, Games for Actors and Non-Actors, and The Aesthetics of the Oppressed. In addition, being conversant with Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed might help you and others grasp the theoretical foundations of Theater of the Oppressed in much greater depth and detail.
