Summary:
Improvisational theatre or improv is where the participants come up with scenes and play games from suggestions taken by the audience. One of the basic principles of this type of improvisation is that the actor will not have time to think and will use his/her whole mind, instead of just the conscious part. Improv is all about positivity and living in the moment.

Club outline:
Each week we will study one area of Improv to improve participants’ skills, however the majority of time will be spent playing improv games and performing to the group. The initial aim is to find a group of committed individuals to prepare for a monthly performance in Georgetown. Ultimately it will aim to create a performance at the Georgetown Festival 2018. The club will look for participants to take ownership of the clubs future and build it up into a permanent presence in Penang.
