Teaching Theatresports?
Tue, 29 Apr 2003, 09:29 amDoes anyone have any theories or tricks to teaching theatresports to high school students?
Maybe a few games or skills that can be included?
Has anyone here tought it? or perhaps even performed it live for audiences, or through Impro-Australia?
Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated.
you can either post it here, to email it to me (cpooge@yahoo.com.au)
Cheers

You can find more details about The Big Hoo-Haa! on this website by going to the what's on section.
In the mean time... from experience I've found that it is essential to make sure the students are know the basic impro skills (offering and accepting, no blocking, yielding, etc) before you implement any formal structure to their classwork (like games structure).
Definitely get hold of the TheatreSports Downunder coaches guide as mentioned above- it is truly invaluable for high school impro teaching.
The DramaWest website is always a good place to start when looking for help with teaching Drama... http://dramawest.iinet.net.au
Good luck- it's a very worthy area to teach!
