-Proactively and compassionately support their partners through listening, humility, and compassion
-Understand basic story structure and use it as a framework for building improv scenes
-Think outside the box, stretch creative thinking “muscles,” and practice thinking quickly on your feet
-Collaboratively justify any idea within the reality of an established scene
-Commit to ideas with your scene partner(s), even if it seems silly
-Convey emotions during a scene and explore spontaneous emotional reactions
-Construct basic scenes with others, including adding specific details to scenes
