Icebreakers

These exercises are intended to get everybody acquainted and to learn each other`s names. Use these early on in a workshop, if players don`t know each other. See also Group and Trust. These games and exercises can be used for improv training, but are useful in any drama and theater education environment, or indeed in any environment in which ice needs broken.
