Summary
In this lesson students will be exploring Theater Improvisation and using their knowledge of Improv to evaluate themselves and others. They will do this by going to 5 different stations that allow students to explore various aspects of Improvisation. These stations are built to help students synthesize their understanding of the Improv, reflect on what they learn, and get constructive feedback on their own performances.
