FuseBox Theatre’s Daily Spark is bite-sized inspiration for improvisers and sketch comedians. Sometimes you just want to do something small to make your improv better. We’ve got you covered. While you’re at it, check out the first issue of the Daily Spark Digest right here.
Daily Sparks #11-20
- Barnyard Fun. Improvise a scene as an animal by focusing on an animal’s point of view. What would a cat care about?
- Know It All. Improvise a scene in which you showcase detailed knowledge of a topic (your job, a hobby, etc).
- Gender Bender. Improvise a scene in which you play someone of the opposite gender with sincerity and integrity.
- DO. NOT. STOP. Improvise a scene while in constant motion. Allow your actions to influence your character.
- Old Stonewall. Try hanging on to your point of view in a scene no matter what. If you feel like giving in, hold on tighter.
- Giant Sombrero. Midway through a scene, remove a large article of (improv) clothing that had not been previously mentioned.
- Nailed Down. Improvise a scene in which you refuse to get up off the floor. Be dragged around instead of getting up.
- Clash of Context. Treat something benign in a scene (someone ate your lunch) as if it were horrible (they stole your wife).
- Brought To You By… Improvise a scene in which you purposely include as much product placement as possible. Be specific!
- Start In The Middle. Begin a scene with “And…”; then finish your sentence by stating a specific desire. Cut the fat!
