THEATRE 1
YAWNING RANGE
Basically you yawn, but as you yawn you make noise.
Start at the lowest noise you can make and make
your way up to the highest noise you can make. Do
this several times and try not to fall asleep!!!
THE MARTHA GAME
Stand outside the designated performance space.
One person runs into the space, forms her body into
a statue and announces what she is, as in "I'm a
tree." Instantly the next person runs on and forms
something else in the same picture. "I'm a bench
under the tree." Continue on until everyone has a
“part”.
MIMIC
In a group elect one person to be “it”. This person
will leave the group until another person is elected
as the leader. The leader will then begin any kind of
simple movement and the rest will follow. The person
elected as “it” will then return to the group and
attempt to guess who is the leader judging by who
they think the rest of the group is mimicing.
ADVANCED THEATRE
ACCENTS:
In a group of 4-5 tell a story in different accents.
Everyone has to participate.
HUMAN PUPPET
Get in groups of 4. Two of you will be the “puppet
masters” and the other two the “puppets”. The
puppet masters will set up a scene by positioning the
puppets however they want them. Once the scene
begins the puppet masters control the movement of
the puppets while the puppets control the flow of the
scene by talking to each other. Remember it has to
be school appropriate.
FREEZE AND JUSTIFY
The group sits or stands around the acting space. Two people enter the space
and begin to improvise a scene, with dialogue and as much physical action as
possible. At any moment, anyone else in the group may shout, "FREEZE!" The
actors freeze instantly and exactly. The person who stopped the scene taps one
of the actors on the shoulder. The actor sits down and the new person takes
his or her position exactly. The new person must now initiate a new and
DIFFERENT scene. The scene must flow naturally from the positions of the
two bodies, and it is the new person's responsibility to communicate to his or
her partner and to the audience what the new scene is about. At any moment
another person may shout, "FREEZE!" and it begins again.
