Course Details
Match improvisation as an educational resource
The Improvisation Match was created in 1977 in Quebec (Canada) with the intention of experimenting with new theatrical forms and breaking with the contemplative attitude of the audience, which became a major player in this discipline.
As a show, it consists of two teams that compete with each other in a cooperative way to create the best possible scene (in an improvised way) from a title proposed by the audience. Another important element of the Impro Match is the referee, who acts as master of ceremonies and ensures that the rules of the game are respected, inviting the audience to vote for the winner in each of the "rounds" into which the game is divided.
Through this course we are going to connect some of the most important characteristics of the Improvisation Match with multiple aspects that the teacher (as a communicator) and the student, as the protagonist of the school environment, can develop.
You will learn how to guide the student. In fact, the teacher must experience for himself what are the factors that take part in the communicative act in front of the public. During the course you will deal with cooperation techniques and you will enhance your language possibilities with a high motivation. Therefore, only a B1 level in English is expected from the participants.
Methodology
Participants will rotate through the week in the different roles that make up a Impro Match. They will be actors, audience and referees, as well as participating in the acting training that allows them to enter this game.
Although the course will include some theoretical parts, the character of the course will be fundamentally practical, as it is intended that the teacher will experience the various phases that his students will be able to live through this intense and fun process.
By the end of the course, the company will give participants a certificate of attendance which includes detailed information about the course, such as title, programme and timetable. In addition, a Europass mobility certificate can be added on request.
Costs and erasmus funding
The cost of the seven day course is 560€, including course fee, certification and support fee, cultural and sport activities in the city. You will also receive a certificate of attendance. The cost includes arrival on Sunday and departure on Saturday. The company offers an Optional cultural package to deepen in relationship between all participants.
The training course is tailored to be fully funded by Erasmus + to teachers, trainers, headmasters and any other staff of education organizations. Furthermore trainers can help in Key Action 1 Application to ensure that participants can get the grant and could be eligible to receive an Erasmus + grant that cover all the costs of the course.
