### A COLLABORATION BETWEEN STUDENTS AT THE ENJMIN AND EMCA SCHOOLS

Surprisingly, improv is about more than [Amy Poehler making fart jokes](http://killscreendaily.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e454afe361d537efc2455ada0&id=b241a580de&e=e0a3a6e743&ref=killscreen.com). At the heart of great improv is a sense of play. Though it’s controlled and focused, emergent play defines improv as much as it defines games like *The Sims*, where players (or actors) are encouraged to go to town within the confines of a defined possibility space. *Commedia dell’Arte: Masks, Masters and Servant*s marries the play of improv with the play of videogames into a point and click stage play. You are a young comedian in Italy at the height of the 16th century, and the crowd has come to love your buffoonery. You can interact and influence each show with a myriad of responses, from scaring your fellow thespians with props, to verbally abusing them with dialogue choices. The stage is your oyster!

**Perfect for:** Actors, members of the Upright Citizens Brigade, Ezio Auditore

**Playtime:** Ten minutes
