| Blockbuster Improv! An improvised stage adaptation of the hottest summer movie blockbuster is performed using improv games. Students choose their favorite summer blockbuster of all time and create their own improvised spoof of the film using creative dollar store costumes and basic improv games learned in theatre sports. This fun and innovative improv format begins with the students learning to summarize the film by identifying the major plot points. They also identify the major characters in the fi lm and cast themselves as their favorite characters. The students then get to work on creating a basic treatment for their film which combines the major plot points of the fi lm with various improv games they have learned. They are encouraged to take artistic liberties with the adaptation. (ie: “Spiderman 2” may become “Spiegalman 2”. In addition to working on their performance, students will have to make their costumes with a budget friendly dollar store visit. The students will perform their improvised movie to visitors during our Open House. *Students must have previously taken or be currently taking Theatresports. This activity is only offered in weeks 1 and 2 |
