Improvisational theatre[edit]

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because…

1) The section titled "Practice and Playing - Comedic" seems to be largely opinion, thus lacking a a neutral point of view.

2) The article in general seems to a little disjointed and messy and in need of a thorough make-over, but I may be too close to the subject to see it from a lay-person's point of view.

Comments from LT910001[edit]

I have to agree. Having skimmed the article I'd make the following comments:

  • The article is quite randomly ordered. I'd consider grouping some of the sections together or making them subsections under a bigger title (eg "Types of improvisational theatre" / "Theatre in society" (subheadings TV/Community) / "Structure and practice" subheading 'psychology')
  • This article largely lacks sources. I think that finding some sources would also help by providing some ideas about structure, organisation, and topics that are relevant to cover.
  • This article contains some sections, such as "Practice and Playing - Comedic" which are written WP:INUNIVERSE and are WP:HOWTO. Similarly for "Structure and process". I'd suggest trimming these down and providing sources. If you or other users are feeling rueful about this, then a relevant and high-quality external link could be provided.
  • There are some good articles that you might want to have a look at for inspiration about how to structure and report on this article: Hip-hop dance and Music hall.

I hope that's useful. Please let me know if you need any clarification. Kind regards, --LT910001 (talk) 23:42, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
