Family Improv at the Gallery Players, October 2012
We call it Family Improv, rather than children's improv, because adults enjoy it as much as kids do. In this Little Orphan Annie inspired scene, Annie AND Daddy Warbucks (the grown up in the hat) are both enthusiastic and talented volunteers from the audience.

Another adult audience member, enjoying Nikki & Ian's dramatization of her life's story.

Here's an example of the team work you have to have to do improvisation: Ian O'Keeffe & Nikki Plyem are working with two audience members, who are moving them around as if they were giant pose-able action figures. Ian & Nikki have to move the way the kids want them to, but the girls are also listening to what the adults are saying, to get ideas of how to move them.
