7 Chapter 1: Breaking the Ice We’re Coming Divide into two groups, each at opposite ends of the room. If possible, have the stationary group standing on steps or levels. Starting in a bent-over position, the other group members advance, repeating, “We’re coming,” in a crescendo pattern as they slowly straighten up during their advance. When they are very close to the stationary group, that group raises its arms and loudly commands, “No.” The advancing group now retreats slowly and quietly, while looking into the faces of those who said “No.” Music and Movement (1) If possible, dim the lights or draw the shades. With eyes closed, sit quietly and listen to the recording of classical music your teacher will play. Concentrate on what the music says to you. Move your body to the music only when you completely feel it. Then get up, open your eyes, and move any way the music tells you. Do not dance. Just respond physically to the sound. (2) Repeat, using sound effect recordings. Exploring One class member sits cross-legged in the center of the floor with head bowed. The teacher will use a sound maker—a guitar, tambourine, rattle, drum. You and your classmates should walk to the wall and stare at it. As the sound begins, it attracts you and the others. You move about the room, look at each other, exploring with the eyes, but never touching. As you explore, walk around the student sitting in the center on the floor. Pass by, but never look at that person. When the sound reaches a loud climax and stops, everyone “freezes.” The center student slowly gets up and stretches arms toward the sky. Those close, touch the student's arms and the arms of other actors, until everyone is touching another person’s arm. Creative Communication—Hardcover Student Edition sampler
Unit 1: Creative Theatre Chapter 84 22 Instant Scenes CUE SHEET By now your imagination should be stimulated to create numerous scenes for class improvisation. The following are suggestions upon which you can build for any number of sessions. As a group, determine the focal point before each improvisation. ACTIVITIES Position Playing Four to five players are required for this activity. Your teacher will assign each group member certain body positions such as pointing, kneeling, hands on hips, bowing, or hand covering eyes. While improvising you must at least once work your assigned position into a meaningful character action that advances the scene. Unrelated Words Three to five players are required for this activity. Your teacher will assign your group three unrelated object words that you must incorporate into an improvised scene. You must not just say the words during the scene. Instead, the objects should become key factors in the story around which the action evolves. Word suggestions include: (1) Hammer, Zebra, radishes (2) Ink, bracelet, bucket (3) Turnip, clock, ball (4) Seashell, zipper, elevator (5) Tractor, monkey, trumpet (6) Diamond, rosebud, dice Creative Communication—Hardcover Student Edition sampler
