Improv
Improvised theatre is the art of unscripted storytelling. Students create scenes and characters based on their imaginations. This year there will be two improv teams at Carson. The Junior Improv Team (BIG) will be at the Balmoral Campus and the Senior Improv Team (CGI) will be at the Carson Campus. The teams rehearse on a weekly basis from September until January.
"We, as improvisers, are explorers. We are constantly setting sail into uncharted waters and seeking out new worlds. We are archeologists, digging into our own world and discovering new and profound ideas. We make these discoveries not with bones or maps of the sea, but with ideas."

THE JUNIOR TEAM
The Junior Team (BIG) will be comprised of Balmoral students from grades 8-10. This is a fun team, where students come to learn the fundamental skills of improvisation. No experience is necessary, just bring a good attitude and sense of humor.

THE SENIOR TEAM
The Senior Team (CGI) is made up of Carson's best improvisers from grades 11 and 12. Although no previous training is required, students will need some knowledge of scene structure, storytelling, character development and physical embodiment. The Senior Team (CGI) will compete at the Canadian Improv Games held every January.
