Theater without script and props: The improv special at the Rainer-Maria-Rilke-Gymnasium thrived on the inspiration of the actresses and the interaction with the audience.

A theater without script, text, props, scenery and costumes was recently seen by 160 spectators at the Rainer-Maria-Rilke-Gymnasium.
The students performed 14 rounds of improv theater.
Icking – Stand up, stretch, turn to your right neighbor, turn to your left neighbor and high five: With this warm-up program for the audience, Karl Haider opened the improv special at the Rainer-Maria-Rilke-Gymnasium in Icking on Thursday evening.
Improv theater at the Rainer-Maria-Rilke-Gymnasium: performance “without script, text and costumes”
Haider, who leads the improvisation team, introduced the show as “theater without script, text, props, scenery and costumes.”
“We need a fit and alert audience,” he demanded, because the show thrives on inspiration and interaction.
That evening, for example, the audience was allowed to specify locations, genres, professions or situations that the eleven actresses in the improv team then had to stick to.
A total of 14 rounds plus two encores were performed in front of approximately 160 spectators.

“Five, four, three, two, one, go!” the audience counted down the seconds before a new round began.
The actresses had five seconds to get used to their new roles.
For example in the game “Time Lapse”.
Three players stood on stage and the audience was allowed to suggest a location where the scene should take place.
The choice fell on the jungle.
In the improvised story, the three got lost in the wilderness and had to assert themselves against monkeys.
The same scene was repeated four more times, but the time available was halved with each repetition, which the actresses had to compensate for by speaking and acting ever faster.
The final round only lasted five seconds, but even in this extremely short period of time they managed to play through the entire scene.
Rainer-Maria-Rilke-Gymnasium: “Zettelspiel” prelude to the second part of the improv theater
The “card game” was the start of the second part of the evening.
During the break, the audience had written on pieces of paper with short messages, folded them and distributed them on stage.
The actresses' task was now to develop a story, picking up the pieces of paper and integrating the audience's messages into the story.
Fortunately, the actresses didn't take one of the findings "Speaking is silver, silence is gold" to heart that evening.

At the last game of the evening, the “Figurenreigen”, all eleven actresses came on stage together.
This time the motto of the game, given by the audience, was “circus”.
Each player introduced themselves as a part of the circus, for example as an elephant, as the ringmaster's hat, as popcorn or as a student from the Rainer Maria Rilke High School: “And every time the poop circus comes, I can't do it anymore Walk across the meadow to the S-Bahn.” The mood in the audience was cheerful and exuberant.
After the loudly demanded encore, the finale was the game “And Bye”.
The theater was supported that evening not only by the audience, but also by Philipp von Unold, a former high school student, who provided musical accompaniment to the show.
Headmaster Stefan Nirschl said goodbye to the audience with the words: “Come home safely - or as the improv team would say: and goodbye.”
