I have the great pleasure (and sometimes the great pain) of teaching a weekly improv class as an elective. I've got students from 7th grade to 12th grade. It's quite the motley crew. After a semester of 28 students for 45 minutes once a week, students have generally improved in their improv abilities! After we played a new game today called "Evil Twin", one senior student came up to me. She said, "I think this class has really been useful. Not just in acting." I said, "Oh yeah?" She replied, "Yeah, I feel like it's helpful in life. It's taught me how to think on my feet and react better to all kinds of scenarios."
WOW- if there is one thing I would want my students to get out of improv, it would be that. Now if only I could get students to think about math like that- not just helpful in their careers, but helpful in life.
