A workshop to experience improvisational theater and a performance to enjoy improvisational theaterwere planned and heldat YCC Yoyogihachiman Community Center.
In the workshop, all participants formed a circle and introduced themselves to each other. After a careful ice-breaking session in which they walked around, made eye contact, and tried various poses, they weredivided into groupsto experience improvised theater.
After the group work was completed, theparticipants introduced each other's work to each other, making the workshop an at-home and lively experience.
During the improvisational theater performance,wehanded out papers with a theme written on them at the opening of the event and asked the audience to comment on the theme, which was used during the performance to change the development of the play.
The improvised, unpredictable development kept the audience on the edge of their seats and moved them to tears at the end, providing a new sensation of performance.
