Ding

Description

A scene is played. Whenever the MC ring a bell (or yells `Ding`), the player that is doing something/saying something needs to say/do something else.

Notes

Doing `something else` is quite often interpreted as doing/saying the opposite of what you did before. One can be more creative, e.g. repeat what was said in a different emotion.

If you use this as an exercise on Spontaneity the trainer can `Ding` quite often (very frustrating for the players, but they will come up with stuff they never would have thought of before). Disadvantage of this is that the story/characters tend to get lost. Use sparingly for performance. Also known as Other Choice.
