Musical Improv Games - Busby Berkeley

Picture

Good for:

Group mind, improvised choreography

Method:

  • Named after the famous MGM musicals choreographer - see his work here
  • Form a symmetrical shape on stage and put on some high impact music.
  • Take a suggestion of a title for this piece
  • "Find a friend" - try to pair up with someone to imitate their moves.
  • Although symmetry should be preserved there is nothing to stop you all going round in a circle or forming an archway for people to dance down.
  • Crossing the stage simultaneously with a partner is a great effect.
  • Build up to a big group finish.

Tips:

  • Find the lines of symmetry
  • Support other people more than leading yourself
