Description

This Long Form handle is basically a series of scenes, connected by music. The music can be provides by a live player or band, or by a DJ. The show starts with a piece of (preferably well known) song as inspiration for the scene. The music is *in* the scene, and is not just underscoring. Say e.g. The Girl From Ipanema is being played. This might inspire the players to start a scene in an elevator. As long as they are in the elevator, the music plays (or as long as no player finds a reason for the music to stop, like e.g. an electricity outage).

To edit, and go to a new scene, a new song is needed. It can be initiated by the musician/DJ, or by a player, who may e.g. turn on the radio. As the (new) song plays, the scene fades away and a new scene starts, again inspired by the song. And the music is really in the scene until a player finds a way to stop or mute it, or leave the location where the music is.

Origin

This format was developed by the French improv theatre "La Carpe Haute" from Strasbourg.
