Good Improv/Bad Improv - a game piece/structured improvisation challenge by Clinton Green
A selection of Melbourne's most skilled and adventurous improvisors take on the challenge of Clinton Green's game piece/structured improvisation "Good Improv/Bad Improv".
"Good Improv/Bad Improv" explores both negative and positive behaviours in group improvisation. Performers are arranged into trios, then each musician draws an instruction from a hat, which they then follow in the subsequent improvisation, without revealing the instruction to their fellow performers or audience until afterwards. Instructions include:
- Play softer than everyone else
- Completely disregard what the others play
- Be the star of the trio
Can you pick which are the good or bad behaviours?
