3 worlds. 12 characters. 21 scenes. This is The Ladder.
Improvisers must learn to be efficient with their use of character and relationship to tell a story.
Whether in us as a class/rehearsal exercise, an improvised show format or structure for a
scripted one act play, The Ladder is a wonderful tool to hone an improviser’s focus to a razor
sharp edge on what are the most important parts of a staged theatrical piece: character,
relationship & story.
3 worlds. 12 characters. 21 scenes. Thousands of possibilities.
No matter what form your team is doing, it is important that you learn the basics of being able to
appear to be performing a piece on purpose.
