What is TheatresportsTM?
TheatresportsTM is a creative combination of improvisation theatre and sports competition originally developed by director Keith Johnstone in Calgary, Canada, in 1976.
During TheatresportsTM competition, teams of improvisers compete against each other for points on stage. To earn points, teams challenge each other to a TheatresportsTM performance game such as Hat Game, Three Words at a Time and Song, and perform scenes in accordance to the rules of the challenged game based on audience suggestions. In addition to being a test of participants' improvisation skills, TheatresportsTM puts to test participants' spontaneity, creativity and team work too. As the audience cheer for their preferred teams, the atmosphere in the theatre is transformed into one that is similar to a sports competition.
TheatresportsTM is a popular form in countries in America, Europe, Australia and Japan. Besides being embraced by the student population in the various countries, television shows modified from TheatresportsTM is not uncommon too, with Whose Line is it Anyway as one of the most prominent examples.
Theatresports TM @ Singapore
Mr Jacky Li Chun Kit's introduction of this form of theatre to the Macau audience in year 2001 marks the official entry of TheatresportsTM into the Chinese theatre scene. Since then, Jacky remains active in the promotion of TheatresportsTM in Chinese-speaking regions, including Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore.
In 2007, with Jacky as the instructor, Dunman High School staged the first National TheatresportsTM competition in Singapore. A one-week workshop was held for secondary and junior college students before they were put on stage on the competition. With the energetic youths pioneering TheatresportsTM formally at the Drama Centre (NLB), the audience experienced for themselves the electrifying atmosphere of an improvisational theatre.
