How do you develop a good characterization in improvisation?

Outside, we’re all living a pretty, put together Instagram life. Inside, we’re a torrent of manic emotions, paranoid thoughts, and on the verge of breaking down mentally and emotionally. Be that person.

Walk on knowing that no matter the initiation, you’re going to be frustrated, despondent, lustful, joyful, or aroused. Don’t drop that emotion.

Step with a limp, wave your arms in the air, or scrunch up your face. How do you feel? How do you justify that choice?

I have mixed feelings on accents since a lot of improvisers use them as the butt of a joke rather than a character tool. Rather than going for the bit, try to do your best and sincere version of an accent. Where does that place you geographically? Who are you?

15. 45. 95. Each age brings new challenges and a different perspective.

Enter the scene with a strong opinion about anything, even if it’s totally irrelevant. You never miss a midnight movie. You don’t believe in ghosts. If that’s true, what else is true? How do you act given your current situation?

Harry Potter or Mario. Adopt their persona or literally be them.

 I’ve said before that writing is one of the best ways to get better at improv. So write character monologues. Write a play. Do sketch. Take those characters and bring them into new improv scenes. It’s not cheating any more than playing your stock mom character would be.

Global warming. The separation of Church and state. Pick a side. Who are you? Can you bring nuance to that person so they’re not a stereotype?

1 - since it's a library, i'd like putting a sculpture from ancient greece, probably from the hellenistic epoch.

2 - i'd also like the statue to be from a famous person from that time, a philosopher of possible.

3 - i'd want the statue to be of a man sitting down on a tree stump with a book on his hands (either writing or reading), to demonstrate the love for reading.

4 - i'd also like to have the statue with a darkish colour and high contrast, as well as a statue that resembles balance and a little movement on his head if he is reading or on his hand if he's writing.

hope it ,
