LEARNING GOAL: Practice principles of improvisation. (agreement, spontaneity, pantomime, commitment)
DO NOW: Hep One round of normal Hep. WARM UP: What Are You Doing (elimination style) Students count off by 2s and form two lines (1s vs 2s). Two players start, but after you respond to "What are you doing?," you move to the back of your team's line. Players can get eliminated for taking too long to respond, or for repeating answer that have been given before. To make it more challenging, use a different set of initials after each elimination. When playing with initials, you must respond with at least two words, starting with the given letters, in order. Example: Initials are "MH." Responses could include, "making hats" or "taking a monkey's heart out of his chest," but not "hearing music." PLAY: Dimestore Novelist One performer is the "novelist." Three more performers are characters in the scene. The novelist narrates a story while they type on an imaginary typewriter. The performers act out the narration. The novelist pauses for the characters to speak. The novelist should try to create a story with a beginning, middle, and end. TICKET OUT: Reflection in Google Classroom (@3:15) Which Principles of Improvisation are easiest for you? Which are the most challenging? LEARNING GOAL: Practice principles of improvisation. (agreement, spontaneity, pantomime, commitment)
DO NOW: Hep One round of normal ol' Hep. WARM UP: What Are You Doing Start in a circle for two rounds, without any theme. PLAY: What Are You Doing (elimination style) Students count off by 2s and form two lines (1s vs 2s). Two players start, but after you respond to "What are you doing?," you move to the back of your team's line. Players can get eliminated for taking too long to respond, or for repeating answer that have been given before. To make it more challenging, use a different set of initials after each elimination. When playing with initials, you must respond with at least two words, starting with the given letters, in order. Example: Initials are "MH." Responses could include, "making hats" or "taking a monkey's heart out of his chest," but not "hearing music." PLAY: Doors There are two imaginary doors in the stage area. Someone is in each room. Someone else will enter the rooms. The person in the room is responsible for starting a short scene. LEARNING GOAL: Practice principles of improvisation.
DO NOW: Hep WARM UP: What Are You Doing NEW GAME: What? Two performers begin a scene with audience suggestions for character. Periodically, Mr. Hanlon will call "What?" and the performer who just spoke needs to say a different line than what was just said. Be spontaneous! And then justify the new offer with action and dialogue. LEARNING GOAL: Practice commitment to character.
DO NOW: Hep Round 1 --> Normal Hep Round 2 --> Silent Hep Round 3 --> No Moves/Only Words Hep WARM UP: Topeka/Bodega Andre is going to lead the vocal/physical warm up today. PRACTICE: Dimestore Novelist One performer is the "novelist." Three more performers are characters in the scene. The novelist narrates a story while they type on an imaginary typewriter. The performers act out the narration. The novelist pauses for the characters to speak. The novelist should try to create a story with a beginning, middle, and end. LEARNING GOAL: Practice commitment to character.

DO NOW: Hep WARM UP: Topeka/Bodega DISCUSS: What is commitment? What does it mean for drama? PLAY: Zombie Tag Practice using specific character choices for facial expression, movement, body language and voice. LEARNING GOAL: Practice pantomime.
DO NOW: Hep. WARM UP: Ball toss. What kind of ball are you going to pass? Think about size, shape and weight. Try passing multiple balls of different types. Can we keep them consistent? PRACTICE: Object Pass Imagine a small object in front of you. Consider its size, weight and shape. Pick it up. Explore the different functions it has. How do you interact with it? TICKET OUT: Agreement/spontaneity reflection in Google Classroom. LEARNING GOAL: Define "Pantomime" (principles of improvisation).
DO NOW: Hep. WARM UP: 108s DEMONSTRATION: What is pantomime? PRACTICE #1: Object Pass Imagine a small object in front of you. Consider its size, weight and shape. Pick it up. Explore the different functions it has. How do you interact with it? PRACTICE #2: Ball Toss LEARNING GOAL: Practice "agreement" and "spontaneity."
DO NOW: Hep DO NEXT: 108s (everyone will try at least one) PLAY: Spelling Bee Similar to Dr. Know-It-All, except you're spelling and defining words. Say the word in unison. Spell the word. Say the word in unison. Define the word. |
