Apprehensive perhaps. Why? Because they‘ll be performing on stage at the Waterfront Festival on Saturday, June 26th at 10 a.m. on Coronation Park‘s second stage. It goes without saying that actors in general share a case of nerves before performing but what makes this event more nerveâ€"wracking for them is that they are doing an Improv Show. These actors are used to delivâ€" ering scripted lines in plays at The Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts. The Improv represents a new challenge for them. invest1f p.m Jack Meyers leads the Festival Chairman‘s Walk About at 2 p.m. These 10 brave souls are all actors with the Oakville Drama Series (ODS$) comprised of Burlâ€"Oak theatre Group, The Oakville Players and Stagecraft Productions. The ODS is in the midst of marketing the ‘©93/*94 theatre season and the Waterfront Festival will provide them with the opportunity to showcase the three theatre groups. Throughout the hour, the troupe will be performing a number of improâ€" visational games and exercises for the audience. "Improvisation is a theatnâ€" cal genre unto itself and is very difficult to master," says Jacqueline Curtisâ€" Walker, event coâ€"ordinator. "There are a number of skills inherent in this type of performing that don‘t come naturally. You can‘t hide behind a charâ€" acter and a script and you can‘t anticipate what will happen next." To guide the actors, the Improv is being hosted by Terry Hart, a Second City alumnus who specializes in this creative form. Hart spent a couple of lengthy sessions with the troupe to help them improve and master their skills. Improvisation requires imagination, spontaneity, and creativity. Ordinarily in theatre, actors rehearse the characters and lines created by a writer for months. until they are proficient enough to perform before an Oakville Drama Series actors present Improv genre unto itself and is very difficult t Iker, event coâ€"ordinator.

In Improvisation the actor also ‘writes‘ for themselves and perâ€" forms without any preparation. They must create characters, lines and relaâ€" tionships on the spot that entertain and amuse an audience. "It‘s magic when a scene works. When it doesn‘t you move on and hope the next one will. What‘s fascinating for the audience is witnessing the creâ€" ative process that makes up Improvisation. Whether a scene works or not, the process is involving and entertaining," says Curtisâ€"Walker. The ODS is hoping that the audience will be interested enough in the Improvisation to see what true magic is created through legitimate theatre. The ©‘93/‘94 season is the ODS‘s 15th in Oakville.
