Improv? What's that?

Canadian Improv Games

The Canadian Improv Games is a loving competition between teams of high school students trained to perform spontaneous, improvised scenes within the framework of the CIG's own 5 event competitive format. Each team (composing of 5-8 students) plays 4 games, each game being (maximum) 4 minutes long. There are over 3000 students from over 300 high schools across Canada participating in the Canadian Improv Games. These games are:
Theme
Story
Character
Life
Style
There are two mandatory events, Life and Theme. Teams must choose to drop one of the other 3 events before the competition!

In the event of a tie, teams play the remaining (5th game).

Why Is Improv So Great?

This is one of those eternal questions, like "What is the meaning of life?" "What came first - the chicken or the egg?" or "Who let the dogs out?" But the real answer comes when you look at the difference that improv makes in so many peoples' lives. It helps teenagers make freinds, have fun, learn sweet teamwork skills, and sometimes gets people through the hard times that come along with all those teenage hormones. Just talk to anyone who has played improv, and they'll tell you, "It's clearly, clearly sick."

Fyi - sick is a good thing nowadays, Grampa!
