Adam Dalliance<p>Went to see a Hoopla improv show at The Bell, a mix of half a dozen different groups doing different thin<br>gs. "Shuffle improv" were basing their scenes on a shuffled playlist built by the audience on the way in<br>and an interesting format from a improv-as-a-second-language group chatting about their experiences in a<br>foreign land and basing their scenes off it. The group called "twelve people" only had six but were good<br>chaotic fun.</p><p>Lots of stuff about cooking and food.</p><p>I found myself pondering optimum size for an improve group. In general the larger groups seemed more fun to me, with the exception of three-person "burn the script" who did excellent work. More than eight wouldn't fit in the tiny stage at that venue. In rehearsal I like to have the group split in half and perform for each other. Hard to do that with fewer than six. Still up in the air if our group will get off the ground or not. More people does mean more calendar clashes even if it makes for a cheaper-per-person room hire.</p><p>Everyone has instagram pages, which are no use to me. Won't link or visit there. Interesting that nobody has a Twitter profile any more and of course nobody seems to have just a damned website which still strikes me as madness. Imagine not wanting to own your own space on the web?</p><p><a href="https://boing.world/tags/improv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>improv</span></a> <a href="https://boing.world/tags/london" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>london</span></a></p>
