Trestle Theatre Company | Mask Resources - Group Improvisations

Trestle is a mask and physical theatre company: our mission is to inspire creativity through participation and dialogue and we do this by approaching opportunities with an open mind,
playful approach and our ever surprising and engaging masks. Trestle has been making innovative physical theatre since 1981 and in recent years has focused its work on school workshops, performances and teacher training; we work in partnership with schools, FE colleges, PRUs and Universities to deliver the skills and resources needed to encourage high quality learning through the arts.
Group Improvisations
Aim: Improvising as a whole class/group.
Setup: Majority of class/group as audience, with up to ten participants at the sides of the performance
space.
• Teacher/facilitator to introduce the improvisation, allow the group to take it on in their own time.
Characters can leave and enter the space at will.
• Ask them to try and keep in role and not lose focus until the end of the improvisation
Scenarios that they could work towards, include:
• World disco dancing championship...
• Babysitting...
• An Audition...
• An Examination (use props, including tables and paper)...
• Visiting a Grandma’s house after she’s died...
• A blind date...
