Association Jump

Description

This is physical association game. All plays mill about the room. At any time, trainer yells a player`s name. That player `jumps` into a frozen position. Trainer can (but does not have to) sidecoach by shouting `directions` (see Fast Food Laban ) like `horizontal`, `up`, `down`, `sideways`, `big`, `small`, `light`, `heavy`.

The other players watch our subject jump into a position, and then build around that player, inspired by whatever the frozen position out subject jumped into. The end result is a still scene.

Tip: precede this exercise by Jump .
