Subject: Improv Teams
Location: College Improv Tournament at Mercury Theater, Chicago, Illinois
Purpose: To determine if the style of improv varies depending on where the team is from
Question: Since improv was practically born in Chicago, how has improv changed when practiced in other cities around the country?
Notes:
- Each team is performing their own form
- Almost all long form
- One team did short form
- Canada team has long form I've never seen
- Involves writing down monologues
- Used as idea generators
- Interesting use of "current" events
- Health care
- Depending on how far away team is from, possibly determines how many team members they bring
- Styles have same basic core just varying details
- All use one word suggestions (cept for Mafia)
- CIT has grown in the past 5 years
- The the amount of teams that were in nationals this were is the same number of total teams competing in CIT's first year
- Different size teams work the stage differently
- Different energy
- Use of stage
- Ideas used
