Page 5 of 5 Enhance Spontaneity & Adaptability Students improvise scene work through the use of a controlled set of suggestions (who/what/where) given to them by their peers. Students improvise scenarios complicated by tasks and obstacles, and must find solutions based entirely on suggestions given to them by their peers and instructor. Specifically, students will learn how to: • Practice the tenets of personal and small team improvisation in a controlled environment • Observe how the tenets of improvisation are used successfully (and unsuccessfully) • Concentrate, listen, communicate, observe, react and adapt in the moment • Observe, assess and act in situations quickly and effectively while communicating with and keeping an eye on (supporting) your peers • Take care of teammates • Multitask • Sustain ethical behavior while in crisis • React/Adapt – to unpredictable factors that cannot be controlled/changed/predicted • Culture Shock – leave the 2-year team, and adapt to new job/team/culture • Adapt to the chemistry, philosophy, energy, and attitude of a preexisting group • Deal with emotional aspects of unplanned changes • Integrate your own character into a preexisting team without losing your own identity • Prepare for an interaction • Be ready for the spontaneity and unknowns • Respond to uncontrollable events (external business factors or internal people issues)
Status Through a series of physical and emotional directions, as well as key sentences, students improvise the role(s) of status within a team and learn how to:• Leverage talent within team • Determine how different types of status affect team dynamics • Explore the effect of high & low status in a team • Explore the different types of status and how they affect individuals and the group • Role play status • Observe how specific status affects the individual and team |
