Dance improvisations are very risky and rare. It’s the same with any type of performance improvisation such as acting or singing, but with dance there is a greater risk for injury. Everyone has to on their toes and prepared for any at all times or it could be damaging.
Though I would be really interested to see what comes from all of it. Its a show that has a lot of different elements going for it at once from improvisations, the alphabet dances, and music.
i've been to a few audience led improv shows and the biggest problem is that the audience tends to be really boring and unimaginative. I don't know if I'd be interested in seeing the improv dance emotion one but the Gashlycrumb Tinies sound wonderful. That I would love to see.
