Acting Improv is THE best activity there is.
Lancaster
Acting Improv, or AI, is offered almost every day, often twice, and since the start of the weekly/daily system, has also been offered as a weekly. The format is supremely basic; the students sit in a circle and suggest games and game scenarios. Then the RA (or a student the RA has designated to lead the activity) selects the game, the situation, and the actors involved. There is no requirement to be in the games; indeed, many CTYers just come to AI to be entertained.
Also see Project Ektelo, an ongoing project for the introduction of new AI games.
