[Hidden-tech] announcement

[David Shepherd]

WANT TO STRETCH YOUR BODY, MEMORY, EMOTIONS
and your sense of LAUGHTER,  CHARACTER,  STORY?

Join Just for Fun, a monthly session in Amherst, MA, beginning early 
May with Coaches Amy Swisher, leader of creative groups & David 
Shepherd, producer of first professional improv theater-- Chicago 
COMPASS.  Be a Coach yourself.  INFO: 
413-256-3493.	groupcreativity at charter.net

here are some games we’ve been playing:

WHISPER/SHOUT/SING for 3-4 players.  Give each a Who and What.
As they explore the scene, call out a way to play: “now whisper the 
scene,” “now shout it,”  “now sing it”—until they find an ending.

CHARACTER:  eg: Play a macho man when he notices a scratch on the side 
of his new car.  Play a Mom the night her daughter goes out on her 
first formal date.  Play your twenty-year-old friend the day he’s 
drafted--in 2010.  Play yourself accepting an award at the Oscars.

here are some games we want to try:

ONE-MINUTE STORY BITES for 4-6 players: each player suggests a 
provocative character. The Coach picks three.  Then one after the other 
each player tells how the three conflict and how the story ends.

SOUND WELL:  Stand in a circle.  A Coach directs from outside, tapping 
each player to signal when to start a continuous sound; then when 
sounds should fade or swell, get higher or lower, transform into 
rhythms that get faster or slower; come together in Group Harmony.
