No Script Attached

Don't you wish sometimes that you could just swap places with someone who you're sure has it easier? Well, 'Chatacter Switch' lets you do exactly that! .
2 improvisers start a scene, and make distinct strong physical and vocal choices. The scene is played until we know the characters. Then the roles are reversed, and every player plays the other's character, in the same scene, same location. Add a third character to the mix and you have a recipe for madness. This is great fun for everyone as the scene usually descends into (hopefully orderly) chaos.

In the comments is a clip from Pooja, Praneev and Vikrant's Character Switch at the Bengaluru Improv Festival where two employees argue with their boss about leaves. We leave it to you to figure out who is who.

- the NSA way!

We got no gamma lab, but we do go from "Hulk" to "Professor Hulk" in moments - in the improv lab!

Emotional List / Feelings List / Emotional Roller Coaster / Continuing Emotions is a short form improv game. The MC takes a list of emotions from the audience (somehow at every show the list ends up including "h***y" 🤔).

A "neutral" scene is then improvised and the MC at any point may interrupt (by calling freeze) and assign an emotion from the list to either one or all the improvisers. The scene continues, albeit with the emotion so assigned. The MC has the discretion to keep changing (read: challenging) the improvisers, leading to an emotional roller coaster of sorts. The game ends at a high point, or ultimate emotional exhaustion - whatever comes first.

Stay indoors, stay safe, keep improvising.
