Playing "The Blues" Improv Game

Video Transcript

"Hi. We are learning how to play some improv games. And now we're going to show you how to a game called, "The Blues". In order to play the blues, you're going to ask your audience for a suggestion anywhere from 3 to 5 things that might trouble them or give them the blues. Then you're going to pick a performer or a group of performers to improvise a blues song based around those issues. Dan Bean and I demonstrate and I'll think you'll get the hang of it really quick. Let's assume that I'm an audience member. And I'm suggesting the following depressing situations. My car has a flat tire; I was late for work today, and my roommate at the last of my cereal. Dan Bean is going to perform a blue's song based on those three suggestions. My car has a flat tire. I was late to work. Roommate ate my cereal, ah what a jerk. I got the flat tire, late for work, ate the cereal all blues. Oh I'm feeling so bad. So, so, bad. I got all those things I mentioned blues. Blue, Blues Ba Blues Ba Blues Ba Blues Ba Blues Blues. And that's how you play, "The Blues"."
