So after a couple of weeks of sitting on my butt at school, i finally check out the college theater in hopes of understanding what it means to be an improv actor. When I hear improv, i associate it with the cast from Whose Line, which also equates to me thinking improv equals funny stuff. However, that's not the case. Improv can be funny, but it depends on which form you use. Whose Line uses what are known as short form games. Examples include Props, Let's Make A Date, and even Song Styles. Short form games are for guys like me who want a quick punchline and have short attention spans. For the more subtle and intelligent, long form is the perfect choice. In long form, the best example i can give is a sitcom, as far as what i've been taught. Basically, you do a bunch of scenes that all correlate at the closing of the play. Anyways, i get to do something and i'm learning little by little the awesome lesson that comes from improv: humor for improv comes out of where you find it as a opposed to what's being said. becauas the actors in a short form game could do very poorly on the topic but its still funny. Anyways, back to the fray, and hopefully I'll learn even more about improv style.
