Post #19 Dec. 03, 2010

This past week was awesome, with great work done by everyone in class.

I think you might like this youtube video...  Random acts of drama...


And if you need a laugh, visit Improv Everywhere (practising random acts of drama...) on Youtube. I recommend Frozen in Grand Central Station (when a tableau becomes a powerful piece of street theatre)  and The Food Court Musical (March 09, 2008 — From  16 agents create a spontaneous musical in a food court in a Los Angeles mall. Using wireless microphones and the mall's PA system, both their voices and the music was amplified throughout the food court. All cameras were hidden behind two-way mirrors and other concealed structures. This is one of over 70 different missions Improv Everywhere has executed over the past six years in New York City. Others include Frozen Grand Central, the Best Buy uniform prank, and the famous U2 Rooftop Hoax, to name a few. Visit the website to see tons of photos and video of all of our work, including behind the scenes information on how this video was made. Song by Scott Brown and Anthony King. Arranged by Jamie Laboz)
These are some improv ideas from Beth Foster, Improv coach at Bear Creek S.S.
