Improv Exercises
These are focused skill-building exercises — the core of any improv session. Each one targets specific abilities like listening, commitment, or character work, and can be adapted for different experience levels.
Use them after a warm-up to give players structured practice before moving into open scene work.
One Word Story
Players stand in a circle and tell a story one word at a time. It demands deep listening and the willingness to let go of control.

Yes And
The most essential improv exercise. Players practise accepting what their partner offers and adding something new to move the scene forward.
