Creating a Scene

T– Topic Selected: Who is the target audience? What is the target objective? What do you want to happen as a result of the scene?

I—Illustrate the issue: Brainstorm all the aspects of the issue: What are various perspectives? What are the implications of this topic on students, faith, the world, the community, the individual? Where does this issue occur?
Who? What? When? Why? Where? How?

Develop the scene (see parts of a scene below and the Scene Information Page) – Be sure to have a clear opening line and a freeze line.

P—Pick parts and practice: Improv doesn’t have to mean completely unrehearsed, so know who is doing what and play with the flow of the scene.

S--Setting Up the Opening : Brainstorm questions that will help audience members understand the What (emotions and facts of the scene), So What (why it’s important), and Now What (what are the next steps or connections to their world/reality).
