abstract
The main background behind my project has been to create an improvisational theatre team within the Theatre/Dance department. I wanted to be able to produce and direct a show, as well as design all of the publicity materials to promote it. I felt by doing so, I could combine skills that I have learned from both of my majors. After graduation, I intend on entering the field of Arts Management, and I felt like this creative project was a great way to build onto my resume and gain first-hand experience as a producer. In order to create this production, I did initial research on improv theatre techniques and its roots in Commedia dell’Arte. From there, I auditioned actors and formed my teams back in January; therefore, my primary method for conducting research for this project has been through weekly rehearsals and observations of my actors. The final production entitled, “THIS JUST IN…” was performed on April 8 & 9, 2009 in the Fine Arts Building Crane Studio. My final presentation on research day will review highlights from the shows, display my publicity designs, and briefly cover the history of improv theatre. note
