My favourite exercises

(note: this is just me collecting together things I’ve already written)

When I’m teaching improv to beginners. These are the exercises I like to use (depending on the time available).

Teaching YesAnd
 (the Saturday Morning game)

Sometimes I’ll follow this up with, yesand story, Yesand experts, then maybe arms experts.

Meeting the Monster (a variant on word at a time).

Ding! (Maybe I will have used this as a warm up).


Nope!

Then finally,

The wonderful adventure of the people lost in the forest

    I like the “nope” one! It make you feel so great to please your partner. In the same direction, I also like the “please the queen”.

    Thanks for all the exercises you put in your blog.

    Thanks Lily!

    “Please the Queen” is the one where the Queen kills the servant by snapping her fingers if she isn’t happy, right?

    Yes it is! And the servant lays on the floor, and an other servant comes, and then the floor is cleaned and so on… so everyone can get a chance to please the Quenn again and again.
