  • Middle School Improv (gr. 6-8)

    The middle school improv team is entering its 23rd year! Improvisation is likely to be known as a performance form that allows audience participation, is based in comedy, and is only for the very quick-witted. Improvisation, however, is a truly adaptable art form that has proven to be an effective tool onstage and off for many different age groups and levels of experience. In other words, while it can be highly entertaining, improvisation is much more than “being funny.” The tenets of improvisation – namely saying yes or accepting ideas without judgment, creating a safe atmosphere and listening – have made this form important to actors and non-actors alike. For actors, improvisation is crucial to being in the moment and learning to trust your instincts onstage, particularly in auditions. For non-actors, improvisation is an effective tool for sharpening focus, evolving creative ideas, improving communication skills, and teamwork. Students who participate in Improv greatly improve their listening skills, focus, and schoolwork. Visit CentennialTheatre.org for more information.
