“The Impro Teachers Kit”
For my complete guide to teaching improvisation and a whole lot more about drama teaching check out the special website launching deal for my ebook “Organised Chaos: A Very Practical Guide to Drama Teaching”.
Sample games and exercises from the “The Impro Teachers Kit” can be found under Improvisation in the sidebar.
Please take time to look at the video or read the information below on “The Impro Teachers Kit”. I truly wish this resource had been available to me in the last 30 years as a drama and theatre studies teacher.
An outstanding resource..
I’m going to introduce you to an outstanding resource that’s been used extensively and very successfully with performers of all ages. This is something I wish I had from the start of my long career as a drama/theatre studies teacher. It has taken me quite a few years to develop it to the prototype stage and now I’m asking your help to launch it into its final stage. In return for your assistance I am going to make you a very special offer.
In my 30+ yrs as a drama teacher I’ve experienced a high level of success and one reason for this is that I’ve used the material in this product in many different teaching contexts with children, teenagers and adults, with great results.
So, let me introduce you to something that’s cost me countless hours of work over a number of years. It’s called “The Impro Teachers Kit”.
If improvisation games and exercises are not already a large part of your teaching program you must change that!
In 30+ years of teaching I’ve become absolutely convinced of the importance of improvisation as a teaching tool for drama and acting teachers.
A powerful way to develop confidence….
There is no more powerful way to develop confidence and great performance skills in actors of all ages than to train them in improvisation. Over the years I have used improvisation games and exercises to develop creative and lateral thinking, creative problem solving, spontaneity in acting and as a substitute for prompting in major theatrical productions.
Performers who are taught how to improvise are no longer reliant on words on a page but learn how to immerse themselves in a character to the point where language naturally flows out of them. When things go wrong, as they frequently do in any theatre production, they are not paralysed with fear or lost for words. They shift naturally and easily into improvisation until whatever problem they have to overcome is resolved.
This is one of the best resources on improvisation you are likely to find anywhere.
There are some wonderful books on teaching improvisation available. This does not aim to replace them. What it does is to place games and exercises at your fingertips. It provides you with a quick and easy way to access and use improvisation games and exercises for any occasion.
What is it?
This is a desktop box set of 240+ palm/pocket size cards that are robust and water-resistant. All you need to plan a course in improvisation, run a workshop or devise an improv performance is at your fingertips. The 240+ cards in this boxed set are fully indexed in 9 categories. The colour and number coded cards can be found quickly and easily returned to the same location after use.
Instructions for each exercise are carefully worded to ensure the highest degree of clarity. You will easily be able to select exercises for your group and/or purpose and know what will be required for each exercise.
Planning your improvisation class, performance or workshop could not be easier. You’ll quickly be able to put together an improvisation program suitable for any age group, any context.
Purchase this resource.
Use it as part of your daily routine with whatever groups you work with.
Get to know the vast range of improvisation games and exercises available and insert them into every aspect of your teaching program.
I haven’t seen anything like this available anywhere. And believe me I have been looking.
Yes there are books out there. Yes you can access impro games and exercises on the internet. But this product is just so user friendly. I know because I used the prototype every day for 3 years.
It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s effective and I have no doubt the sales will take off once it is fully launched on the market. If only I had this available to me in the last 30 years!!
