Experimental Designs
Approach
Our approach is based on studying
improvisation by the actors following the active analysis framework,
guided/loosely constrained by a script where we monitor evolution
as they “fill the gaps”. We will also have variants
on a two-sentence exercise.
Stanislavsky's Active
Analysis
| In Active Analysis, the actors
play conflicting forces that jointly interact. The balance
of the forces determines the direction of the play. The
scripts play the role of guiding the events (skeleton).
The course of the play can be close or different from
the script. This degree of freedom gives us an opportunity
to work at different level in the improvisation spectrum.

The basics of Stanislavsky's Active
Analysis
-
Identify the context
-
Determine who carries
Action and who plays the Counteraction
-
Determine what is
the event that ends the scene
-
Each actor picks a
playable verb to use for the Action or the Counteraction
-
Rehearse before presentation
