Revolving Door Edit

Another way to Edit a scene: when 2 (or more) players are playing a scene, a new player may grab one of the players by the arm/elbow, and turn them 90 degrees around their vertical axis, like a revolving hotel door. At that point the other players shut up (and perhaps leave the scene) and the new player starts a new scene with the player grabbed by the arm.

This can be done multiple times, back and forth.

Example

Husband tells Wife he got a promotion. Tells her he really told the boss that he needed that or would leave.

Player Boss steps you, revolves the husband, and we see what really took place, obviously, our Husband had to grovel, beg and plead.

Once that is established, Wife revolves Husband back (she did not leave the stage as the Boss revolved the Husband), asks for more detail, and of course, for every bit of information Husband brags to Wife, Boss character revolves him back to the office and the players show the exact opposite.

To be used sparingly.
