THE TRIP FIVES: IMPROV COMEDY. NO LIMITS.

The College Improv Tournament - Zoiks! Represents!

2011-02-28T11:35:00.000-08:00

The College Improv Tournament ended this Saturday in Chicago. Made up of 96 teams from all over the nation it is the largest improv event in the US. Our region’s winners, Zoiks!, from Emporia University, pumped intense energy into their set and, because of the live webcast, right into my room. They came out of the gate hard and fast; hitting the stage in a flurry of scenes and jokes. At times the frantic pace was dizzying. Overall though, it was a relentless assault on reality and straight faces.

This isn’t to say that they didn’t show an ability to shift gears. You could feel them settle in as they lengthened the scenes and did something they do well, finding the game – or, the hook of the scene. When Zoiks! finds the game in their scenes, they react like piranhas, devouring scene work as a unit. When they enter this frenzied state they always deliver the laughs. Their sense of play and trust is strong, and charms an audience, just as it did on Saturday. Zoiks! can shift and turn from one game to the next and keep the audience laughing. This wasn’t a hometown crowd and despite that, they connected. Zoiks! brought the heat, they did it in their own unique way and should be proud. Unfortunately, despite strong play, the day wasn’t theirs.

The message I got from the judges as the tournament progressed: slow it down. The group that emerged from Zoiks! bracket, played it slow. In my opinion, it was to a fault at times. Moments were so plodding and cerebral; they lacked variance in character or energy. Some scenes became simply an exercise in making lists. However, patience was the common denominator of the finalists and theirs was a “patient” set.

Restraint onstage can add complexity and richness. It allows everyone involved in the set, this includes the audience, to discover and appreciate what the group cultivates and how it is used as fuel for the scene. This has become a focus for us in the T5s; to slow down and notice the details. The transition hasn’t been easy. I wonder if at times we have entered the plodding, cerebral trap of the aforementioned group.

Zoiks! reminded me of a set we played in ’98 or ’99. We shared age and energy with Zoiks! back then. We attacked the stage the same way and it felt right. The comments from the out of town improvisors were all on how much energy we had. Perhaps that is the style we have in the KC area; maybe we play spastic. Watching Zoiks! do their thing was a reminder not to lose that animal instinct. Their energy and excitement was infectious.

So to the cast of Zoiks! here is a big salute from the Trip Fives. You represented the area, made us proud and showed the national scene how to play it to the hilt. Congratulations!

Improv Thunderdome arrives in nine days and you're nervous. How are you going to decide who to vote for? With this season being a draft season everything is mixed up. There are different coaches for each group. All the teams have casts that have never worked together before. You may even have different friends in different casts all competing on the same night! Well, all of us here at the T5s understand your feelings. Here are some methods to the voting madness that we have gathered to help you out:

Blind Support
This method is pretty straight forward and, once you sit down, it doesn't require a lot of effort on your part. The plan here is to vote for who you came to support. You aren't here to see anyone else. The best way to achieve this is to bring a distraction. This way you won't get swayed by another group. Headphones, some reading material, a head cold or even a baby would work as a proper distraction. A baby with a head cold and wearing a bib with the image of the person you support is probably best.
The Laugh Tally
This one comes from Rita Marks and is pretty ingenious and simple. Every time Rita laughs she marks down a tally. At voting time she simple picks the team with the greatest amounts of tallies. It's the beautiful marriage of science and improv comedy. You may even develop a system to award according to the degree of laugh you have. Like a half a mark for a giggle or two full ticks for a gut laugh. This method will require a writing utensil and a piece of paper or, a calculator watch. You might be able to get by with one of those.
The Format
This is for those who like form with their function. You want to laugh but you want it wrapped in a slick package. You need to look for the structure of the set as the show unfolds. Typically you'll find the format in what gets repeated in a set. You might see something as simple as a set of scenes dissolving into a monologue that will develop material for later scenes. Others may be more complicated and attempt to tell a narrative. You'll also find that the groups may use some different edits or ways to move between characters and scenes. Does the group have smooth transitions and is the format a tool the players are using in inventive ways? Jotting down words that mark what stood out in the set can work here. If a team tells you their name and then the name of their piece... get ready to watch their format.
The Rules
Maybe you are familiar with improv. If so, consider this option. You know some rules of improv. Perhaps you are an Improv Olympic guy. You have read Truth in Comedy and you "Yes, and" with yourself in the shower instead of singing songs. You understand the concept of "who, who, where". Because of this you constantly take mental note of the people and places involved in your daily conversations. Or, you are more of the Annoyance type. You want to see a team that has players with bold initiations or who play fearlessly. The groups that will get your vote take care of themselves onstage and take no prisoners. You may have even heard of "Viewpoints" or David Razowski. You want to see more emotional involvement and players who follow compulsion over anything else. If this method speaks to you, you'll focus what you think is the most important or difficult of your rules before each groups set. As they play think about how well they handle that aspect. After the show, make sure you have a beer with the casts. You are either an improv geek or too uptight. In either case, beer and improvisers may help. Or not, you could be too far gone to save.
You want to buy Ed Doris, host of Improv Thunderdome, a beer. Unfortunately you are broke.
Don't you fret. This one is very similar to the blind loyalty method. However, it is nobler since it will take more time and you are helping a good cause. You are the type that appreciates someone who knows what they do well and is not afraid to do it. This is why you want to buy Ed a beer. However, you are also broke. Do not fret. You just need to vote for Ed's team in both the preliminary match and the Finals. Then Ed can purchase a beer with the winnings he and his team collect from winning this summer's Thunderdome! You will have served both Thunderdome and your fellow man. I'm even sure if you told Ed that you were a number 5 type of voter at the finals after party he would let you have a sip of his beer.

Well there are just a few of the ways the T5s have found to vote. If you don't find something that soothes your pre-thunderdome jitters hopefully it gave you some ideas. Here's to seeing you on the 10th!

Theater is a Sport.

2010-05-24T10:16:00.001-07:00

By Ed Doris

Master improv teacher David Razowski mentioned during a workshop that theater was his sport. Actors were his athletes. I found myself identifying. When asked why we rehearse in order to improvise I make the comparison to America's favorite pastime baseball, though it could be argued that football has taken that title. The game of baseball is practiced even though there is no set plan for how the game will unfold. There are some set rules in improv, just as there are for baseball. There are foul lines, a certain number of strikes and outs (the number three is revered in improv just as it is in baseball). However, the fact is, no one knows how the ball will come off the bat. The players work on double plays, practice responding to bunts, yet there is no way of knowing what will happen when they take the field. The same is true for improvisation. Suggestions are our baseballs, lines of dialogue; our bats. Beats, points in the storyline, they often coincide with laughter, become our bases. Our dugout and bullpen is the backup line -- a line formed by improvisers not actively engaged in but, waiting to support the scene.

Some nights troupes perform like the Sox or the Yanks, and other nights they play like… well, the Royals. There is plenty of conversation out there about the unreliability of improv. How it is filled with people that want access to the stage; free from the discipline needed to hone characters or memorize dialogue and blocking. Others mock the trite, repetitive suggestions and guessing games that are breeding grounds for bad puns and bad charades. That is improv done without focus. It treats the art as a vehicle for jokes and wit, considers the audience an afterthought and delivers a one dimensional experience. I'm no fan of these experiences either. They have become the expected standard for too many performers and audience members. Fortunately I have seen much better shows.

I have witnessed actors whose characters hit home runs onstage. I've seen diving catches made from support out of the backup line and double plays turned as callbacks bring scenes to a close. Characters come to life; story lines arc, and scenes end in the audience's delight and laughter. Improv offers a unique fan experience; a chance to participate in a moment of creation. The audience is just as important of a member of the cast as any of the performers. They are the muse; they feed energy to the caste onstage. Improv at its best delivers the satisfaction of discovery and coming up in July there is plenty of satisfaction to go around; because July brings the return of KC's best comedy show.

Kansas City has spawned its own comedy league, Improv Thunderdome. Improv Thunderdome is a competition where the audience decides the winners. This season will be the second time that Thunderdome creator Jared Brustad institutes a draft. Last year this reshuffling of the improv scene in Kansas City provided some of the strongest group performances yet. Players had the opportunity to work with performers they had never worked with before and this led to some great discoveries. Groups such as last year's winner, "Your Mother Called" demonstrated this with a cast that jelled instantly, much to the audiences delight. If you missed them, you missed some of the best improv and one of the funniest performances in Kansas City so far. The draft highlighted one of the best aspects of Improv, collaboration. Just as one man cannot take the field and play baseball, Improv requires a group to work cohesively towards success. This year coaches were also drafted to hone the teams into elite comedic forces. Nine teams will be coached by some of KC's most experienced improvisers such as improv guru Trish Berrong (Spite, Tantrum), Jen Roser (The Trip Fives, Omega Directive) and Scott Connerly (Improv Abilities). Even Brustad is getting in on the fun and grabbing the managing spot on a team. There will be no funnier place to be than the Westport Coffee House theater this summer. Get your reservations early since this show is a consistent sellout, 913-375-5168.

IMPROV THUNDERDOME.
SEASON THREE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Round One Winner - KILL THE DJ
(Jeremy Alexander, Charley Belle, Jonathan Bender & Ben Brest)
From the trenches of short form improv, the next Goliath of impending Thunderdome doom awaits to seize your humor and strangle it into submission. These Comedy City veterans bring forth their hilariously violent approach and unhealthy temperament as a blood sacrifice to your entertainment appetite. Sensibilities culled from the Midwest, Back East and the North Coast will blow your mind!

vs.

Round Two Winners - BABEL FISH
(Mandy Bannon, Patrick Craft, Keith Curtis, Joe Henley, Nathan Stewart & Jim Sturgill)
Babel Fish don’t like to play by the rules. Babel Fish turn things on their head, not because they want to shake the very foundations of the Improv world, but because they are bored. Babel Fish let the world run through their head and spit it up on stage for the sheer joy of living on the edge, and Babel Fish hope you want to come out and play as much as they do.

vs.

Round Three Winners - THOSE PEOPLE
(Doug Altman, Amy Virginia Buchanan, Garrett Kelly, Spencer Lott, JT Nagle & Alex Nichols)
Coming off a successful run in Lawrence, THOSE PEOPLE are bringing their peculiar brand of comedy to KC stages. Inspired by the Chicago improv scene, THOSE PEOPLE push the traditional long-form style to the unmitigated limits of absurdity. One audience-suggested axiom/platitude/cliche loses meaning through a series of flat-out bizarre scenes (and some things that may not even qualify as scenes). As much as a good laugh, THOSE PEOPLE appreciate a good blank "WTF?" stare.

Tickets are $10.00

vs.

THE TRIP FOURS
(Ed Doris, Tim Lemke, Megan Mercer & Jen Roser)
As the origin story goes, four improvisers were exposed to a liquid mutagen during a traffic accident. The mutagen caused the improvisers to become more human-like in intelligence and dexterity. Within days the improvisers develop the power of speech. It is then that they trained themselves in improvutsu, so they can grow strong enough to win the Thunderdome championship.

vs.

TRIVIAL PROV-SUIT

(James Nelson & John Robison)
This ridiculous duo pits KC improv veterans John Robison and James Nelson against each other in a clash of trivia! They hit the stage with stacks of Trivial Pursuit cards and ask each other questions, and every incorrect answer yields an improv scene! Fast-paced and brutally funny, Trivial Prov-suit is the most unique and unforgettable show in Kansas City!

vs.

PROMPT AND CIRCUMSTANCE
(Camie Davis, Nancy Eppert, Guy Maggio, Martha Maggio & Dave Rogers)
P&C will explore the insanely dramatic backstage world of community theatre with a mix of short and long form. Find out what really happens in the green room on opening night. Some of our members are new to improv and some are seasoned players, but everyone has a long theatre resume, so there’s no telling what bizarre scenes will be produced.

vs.

STITCH TACTICS
(Jordy Altman, Alex Haynes, Hilary Kelman, Jon Matteson, Tosin Morohunfola & Danny Shaw)
Stitch Tactics, an animated short-form improv comedy troupe out of KU, is bringing their HOT NEW SEXY comedy to the KC stage. So sit back, relax, and enjoy some of your favorite games... Or jump up out of your seat and join us onstage for some wild new ones! Audience participation throughout the whole night means that every show is one-of-a-kind.
