    A nice introduction to doing scenes.

    Setup

    In two rows, people go pair by pair and do scenes with a total of three lines. Either one starts, the other responds, and the first person responds to that. The rest of the group enthusiastically applauds the pair.

    Tips

    While doing this exercise, it's good to focus on one or more of the following:

    • establishing where you are
    • establishing relationship
    • establishing character
    • bringing in emotion and reactions

    Variations

    • Invite one side to always initiate the scene with a physical action, so that the other side always starts the scene with the first line
