ŌSIC - Ōtepoti Secondary Improv Club
The Ōtepoti Secondary Improv Club brings students from many different secondary schools in Ōtepoti together to learn and practice the art of improvisational theatre, with master improviser and teacher Dan Allen.
The club meets every Monday after school during term time, and the sessions lead up to a performance to parents and friends at the end of the term.
Through the medium of improv, students learn many skills that are not only important for stagecraft and performing, but that are also transferable into many other avenues. Valuable skills learnt such as confidence, spontaneity, listening and collaboration aid in many aspects of life, and are key to good teamwork in any workforce.

The Improv club is proud to offer a chance for John McGlashan students to develop confidence, creativity and problem-solving skills through the art of improv. The love of improv and in particular “Theatresports” is growing here at school, and students have the opportunity to take part in weekly lunchtime sessions for junior and senior students. The emphasis in these improv sessions is on building characters and on spontaneous, collaborative storytelling, as well as building technical improv skills.
