Improv in the park!

If you happen to be around this Sunday afternoon, come out to play improv games! Everyone welcome! Absolute beginners very welcome!

Here are some examples of the games we might play:

The organizer (Ari) is an experienced improviser, teacher, and game collector.

We're meeting right behind the Mountain View Community Center, in the large circular area next to the parking lot. There's plenty of shade and parking (with several parking lots on other sides of the park as well). It's located in a beautiful park (Rengstorff Park), with lots of trees, big grassy fields, basketball and tennis courts, etc.

IF IT RAINS: Let's drive over to Panera (1035 El Monte Ave, Mountain View, CA 94041), 5 min. drive from the park, and play some improv storytelling games there. I'll bring improv-inspired card games as well. Plenty of seating and parking there, we've done it before.

Anyone interested in stand-up comedy, public speaking (e.g., Toastmasters), RPGs (role-playing games, such as Dungeons and Dragons or LARP), social deduction games (Werewolf, Secret Hitler, etc.), movie/book/TV trivia, or just the best advanced English conversation practice, should try improv at least once.

Improv is an amazing art form, with connections to writing and poetry (especially comedy sketch, script, and play writing), dance and movement practices (contact improv, fusion), circus arts (mime and clowning), music and singing (blues, jazz, rap), psychology (psychodrama, play therapy), even martial arts and sports, — and, of course, theater and film acting.

We play different games each time, taking inspiration from the interests and experiences of the people who join us.
