Playing the "Horoscopes" Improv Game

Video Transcript

Hi guys. We're here learning how to do some improv exercises. And the exercises that we're going to teach you guys today is called, "Horoscopes". "Horoscope" is a great game on learning how to integrate audience suggestions into your scenes. In order to play "Horoscopes", you're going to get the birthday of any improviser in your team. And then, read a horoscope based on their birthday. Now, if you don't have a magazine or a newspaper that has horoscopes, you can use a fortune cookie, as those fortunes seem to tend to yield just as much information. Once you have the suggestion from the horoscope or the fortune. You're then going to have two improvisers improvise a scene based on the horoscope. So let's assume that Dan B got a horoscope that said, "Your future outlook is bright and you will soon find love in your future". Dan and I will now improvise a scene. Now we're going to do a brief example of a quick 30 second scene. But of course your scene can go has long as you needs to go. So the suggestion is bright outlook and love in your future. Boy oh boy. Just another day, another day passing me by. Yep, time goes quick, doesn't it Lu? It does. But you know when I think about time, I, usually most likely always think of the future. And how, how you know things are going to be better for me. I'm here right now, sitting on the couch that smells like cat. But I tell you what; I think things are going to happen to me in the future. Good. Good things. Hold on. You know what? I just got a text message on my computer. Hey Dan? You know that chick that you work with down at the factory? Yeah Melissa. She digs you. Holy what. Yeah she, yes it says that hey I dig your friend Dan. I'm finding in love. My future is looking pretty bright. I don't even have any shades. Ow. And that's how you play "Horoscope".
