Crisis Situation

Description

Great exercise for spontaneity. 2 players on stage approach each other with a crisis, and an object unrelated to the crisis. After each has presented his or hers, each solves the other`s crisis with their own object. Replies must be instantaneous and may be ridiculous.

Example:

• Player A: My wife left me and I`m stuck here with this t-shirt
• Player B: I got robbed and all I have left is my good looks.
• Player A: Here`s my t-shirt; you can sell it and make some money.
• Player B: Erm... Marry me.

 

Fear and ego are the enemies. Conquer the first and the second may still get you --- Keith Johnstone
