This week’s jam: Traditional Games

This week’s jam is run by: Nick.

We’re going to focus on some of our short-form staples which we play a lot in shows, but not so much in jams. So we’ll be rotating through these fine classics:

  • Alphabet Game
  • Word at a Time Story
  • Dubbing
  • Scared Scriptless
  • Shakespearean Scenes

A theme that unites these games is dependence on other people and the peculiar constraints (and freedoms) that each game provides. One of the ace things about short form games is that you have a lot of natural humour provided in the structure – what you bring to it by trusting to the structure and your scene partners it what makes these exceptional scenes.

We’ll draw names and games from a hat and play.

Alert! Fucksticks in town – the Olympic torch relay is severely messing up travel into Nottingham tomorrow – please check your routes and ensure you leave yourself plenty of time to get to the jam!

Hi There!

During the coronavirus outbreak, MissImp has continued to offer entirely free online activities for our community, including commissioning an ongoing series of paid virtual drop-ins from improvisers around the world, fortnightly online Gorilla Burger shows and more. If you’d like to help us keep these activities going and keep our lights on we’d be immensely grateful. Together, we can get through this.
