Contemporary art differs from modern and

traditional art, thus it is relevant to ask if

different methods should be used for teaching.

For example, which should be the guiding

methodological principles? Which methods

are effective and coherent for teaching and

learning different practices of contemporary

art?

Improvisation

Improvisation in theater is the playing of

dramatic scenes without written dialogue &

with minimal or no predetermined dramatic

activity.

Most or all of what is performed is created at

the moment it is performed. 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.

An important goal of improvisation is to enable the

individual to develop spontaneity which is

necessary in creating the illusion of reality.

The improvisation teacher must expose students

to the theatrical environment through various

games rather than lectures.

Forms of Improvisation

1.

Shortform

– short scenes constructed from

predetermined game.

2.

Longform

– scenes related by story or

character

Creative Drama

•

It

is

an

improvisational,

non-exhibitional,

process centered form of drama in which

participants are guided by a leader to imagine,

enact, and reflect upon human experiences.

•

This process allows students to actively explore

a subject or question through imaginative play

that is facilitated by a leader and may involve a

variety of improvisational activities.

•

These activities are not scripted or memorized,

and they allow students to synthesize various

educational

concepts

into

a

personally

meaningful form.
