Rules for Successful Improvisation

1. Define Your Character Who am I? How will I use my body and voice to convey my character? 2. Stay in Character Don’t laugh or change established characteristics.

3. Establish Relationships What is my relationship to the other characters in the scene? Clarify this early in the scene.

4. Establish the Location Know where you are. Establish the location before beginning or early in the skit.

5. Know the Conflict There must be a problem and obstacles to solving it.

6. Know your Objective What is my goal in this scene? Know it and keep it in sight.

7. Be a Good Listener You must play off the dialogue of other characters and respond to their lines.

8. Include Plenty of Action The audience wants to see you doing something. Maintain energy throughout. Pantomime scenery and props as needed.

9. Never Say “No” Keep the scene in the positive rather than the negative. Go along with what the other characters introduce into the scene.

10. Reach a Conclusion! If the audience is losing interest, you have let the scene drag on for too long.
