A library of improv exercises.

What is ImprovLib?

ImprovLib is a searchable collection of improvisational theatre exercises — warm-ups, games, and scene drills — drawn from classic improv training.

Each exercise includes a difficulty level (beginner to advanced), an estimated duration, and clear instructions. No filler. Just what you need to plan and run a session.

Examples

A few exercises you will find in the library:

• Yes, and... circle — the foundational listening and agreement warm-up
• Mirror exercises — presence and physical awareness work
• Gibberish introductions — scene work stripped of language
• Short scene games — two-player starters for quick scene practice

Who is it for?

ImprovLib is useful if you are:

• An improv performer — from your first workshop to your hundredth
• Part of a theatre group or improv team that plans regular sessions
• A workshop facilitator or drama teacher looking for structured material
• Running a team-building or creativity session and need a starting point

Why it exists

Improv coaches build session plans from exercises they have collected over years — scribbled in notebooks, saved in docs, passed between colleagues. ImprovLib makes that collection searchable and shareable.

Think of it as a playbook: inspired by how experienced coaches structure sessions, and designed to be as easy to browse as it is to search. Something like Project Gutenberg, but for improv exercises.
