Description
Excellent
Status improv game.
4 players. Ask an audience member to pick 4 cards out of a deck, and attach a card to each
player`s forehead, so that players can see each other`s card, but not their own. Use a rubber band or a piece of string for that.
The idea is to improvize a scene, in which the status order of the characters is defined by the
cards. Evidently, players don`t know their own status, so the other players
will have to endow
them.
Notes
Set up a location where status is important. Examples would be a Royal Palace or a highly organized
bureaucracy (the White House ?).
Variations
- players can only see their own card, but not the others`
- give players multiple cards, and let them switch cards in the middle of the
scene. Statuses (statii ??) should change accordingly.
- as an exercise, let players play a scene and then ask them to line up
in status order to see if they `got` their status right.
