Materials<br />

Two chairs<br />

Process<br />

Have eight to ten volunteers stand in a semi-circle behind the backs <strong>of</strong> two chairs.<br />

Ask two volunteers to sit on the chairs; explain that they will do a little acting. Ask<br />

one <strong>of</strong> the players sitting on the chairs to start an improvised role play by saying<br />

something to which the other player responds. Explain that at any point, one <strong>of</strong> the<br />

participants standing behind the chairs can ‘tap in’ and take over by simply lightly<br />

tapping the shoulder <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> the actors in the improvisation (provided this kind<br />

<strong>of</strong> touch is acceptable in the local culture). <strong>The</strong> participant who taps in can either<br />

continue the story or start a new scene.<br />

Closure<br />

After most or all <strong>of</strong> the participants have had a chance to act, end the role play and<br />

start a discussion about what the participants experienced while playing their roles.<br />
