Improv Training Warm Up Game: Imaginary Balls Comedy
Pat, Laurice, Noel and Walter teach a popular warm-up game with our students at the Comedy Hall of Fame Foundation, Laugh It Out program. More at http://www.lmao-nyc.com We like to use Imaginary Balls in our classes for team building and pantomime training.http://www.comedyhalloffame.com/foundation
HOW TO PLAY
The circle leader, in this case Patrick Reidy, starts by creating an imaginary ball. The ball has a specific color, size and weight. Patrick uses Pantomime to endow the shape and weight, before calling out the color and passing it around the circle. The team's job is to maintain the size and weight and communicate with other teammates. Make eye contact with someone in the circle. Call out the color of the ball and pass it saying "Orange Ball". When catching the ball, mimic the weight and size as you say "THANK YOU, Orange Ball".
Once the first ball is established, the leader will create another ball. Remember don't pass the ball without making eye contact. Communication is a two way street. The sender and the receiver both have to be prepared. Speed is not the goal in this game. Instead, go for focus and accuracy. If you can master pantomime through these types of games, you will be ten times the performer -- whether you are improvising OR acting, singing or dancing in a prepared piece. A skilled physical performer can take on any situation.
Filmed between shows at Farquhar Middle School in Olney Md. Special thanks to Betsy Sirk for bringing us in so many times in the past few years to Farquhar MS and Cloverly Elementary School (Silver Spring / Briggs Chaney MD).
