Improv theater does not require materials other than the whiteboard/blackboard/marker/chalk.

whiteboard/blackboard and marker/chalk

There should be enough space for students to walk around and perform scenes, ie. a classroom with the desks pushed back.

I can think creatively in order to create dynamic characters. I can work cohesively in a group in order to create theatrical scenes. I can apply my understanding of the principals of improvisational theater to classroom participation and to helping make my classroom a positive environment.

Our program is designed to foster teamwork within the classroom. The workshop consists of activities in which students work together to build scenes and stories. The workshop begins with a brief discussion of the principles of improv, then the instructor leads warm up activities, and after that the students begin telling stories and creating scenes together, guided by the instructor. The workshop closes with a discussion of the possible applications for the material taught. The activities and exercises increase in complexity as the grade level rises, however the basic core of content remains the same. The academic topics addressed in this workshop can be based around topics currently being covered in the classroom. For example, the workshop can focus on historical figures from CT, such as Mark Twain.
