The Improv

In the excerpt, “Apology,” written by Plato, Socrates supports the idea that some things are worth dying for. In the text, Socrates talks about standing up for what he believes in, no matter the cost. For example, he states how he would rather be open about his beliefs and die for them “than speak in [society’s] manner and live” (163). Socrates would rather die telling the truth than live being a liar. He made being honest with others his number one priority. Socrates did not mindlessly follow

Improvisational theatre, often called improv or impro, is the form of theatre, often comedy, in which most or all of what is performed is unplanned or unscripted: created spontaneously by the performers. In its purest form, the dialogue, action, story, and characters are created collaboratively by the players as the improvisation unfolds in present time, without use of an already prepared, written script. Improvisational theatre exists in performance as a range of styles of improvisational comedy

When originally released, Troll II was not well-received. Additionally, there was an internal conflict in the making of the movie, as the Italian-speaking crew could not communicate well with the English-speaking actors. However, despite its initial fallbacks, it has aged well with time, proving to be a landmark of late 1980’s culture. The concept of the film revolves around the youngest child of his family, Joshua Waits. Unlike his parents and sister, he has the ability to see his dead grandfather

We all live in this very tiny bubble and do things that make us feel safe and secure in the world. Sometimes, the best moments are right outside the bubble and all we need to do is break through and live in those moments. When we live in the moment we can fully enjoy what is happening and sometimes surprise ourselves on how much we can appreciate or enjoy that moment or experience that scared us into staying inside the bubble. In theatre, we cannot be afraid to act, but more importantly be afraid

In college, I took a course on Creative Drama. The teacher had us construct elaborate masks to use for a whole-class improv where our characters (as determined by the masks) would act out a children's story of some kind. I don't remember what my mask looked like, but I remember it being so big that it rested heavily on my head and hung down over the top half of my body. As we acted out the story in a flurry of crepe paper covered characters, I recall being entranced by how my fellow students

Eye Contact is "Big Business" The next time you go down to your neighborhood supermarket take a stroll down the cereal aisle and you'll find something quite interesting. You'll notice that the characters on some of our favorite cereal boxes that many of us have grown up with such as Fred Flintstone's Fruity pebbles, Tony the Tiger (Kelloggs Frosted Flakes) and the Trix Rabbit all have one thing in common. They're all looking straight at us. You'll also find this common phenomenon with other popular

Dear Administrative team at Oxford Middle school, I am a student here at Oxford Middle school and I feel that it is important to inform you that our school should have a wider variety of electives. Oxford Middle school is a perfectly fine school, but many of the students seem to not be able to focus in class. My belief is that kids aren’t doing what they find as fun with the school day they have now. I think that our school should give more elective choices so that kids won't be as board in school

Academic, when defined as a noun, refers to liberal, theoretical, or general education that is taught in schools, institutions, and universities.

Newburyport High School is filled with memories from years and years before. From the sports and clubs through the renovations, past schools, and traditions this school has been through everything and now it has the tech, updated classrooms, amazing teachers, and great history. Though it is known as Newburyport High School now it used to be called the Consolidated High and Putnam School. And before that it was all separate schools. There was the Putnam Free School, The Female School, and The Brown

school shows to high school shows. I want to pull this club in a new direction. I want to always be doing something at our weekly meetings to improve everyone’s acting skills. We should have all sorts of weekly activities to achieve this, for example improv days, different types of monologue activities, and so much more. The possibilities are endless, but we need to make sure we have enough money, as well. This club needs to work really hard to raise a lot of money throughout the year. I want to work
