Improvisation Work: 3 Games to Play before Challenge  

















Directions for this improv:
The key to this game is repulsion: consisting of a "bench resident" and a newcomer, it is the job of each newcomer to find an imaginitive way to, as the name of the game implies, scare the bench dweller off so as to assume their position (and so on).  Bench dwellers, to increase intensity, can be resistant at first (to up the ante), so long as they don't play Mr. Brave and ruin the entire game for everyone.



Directions for this improv:
Two in an introductory scene, who to an extent may wish to exaggerate gestures and physical actions, at any point an outside participant can shout "freeze," at which point all action and dialogue ceases (bodies frozen in place) and the person can then go and tag whichever player he wishes to replace.  What ensues is up to the literal scene stealer, as he must resume where it all left off, though redirecting the scene however he chooses.  
Directions for this improv:
This game involves two people, with any additional number of people off to each side as sub-ins.  The players must only interact inquisitively, that is with questions only, to carry forth the given scene.  As soon as one play slips up (offering a statement, re-asking the previous question in a slightly different way, or simply taking too long to respond), they are booted and replaced by the "player on deck" behind them in the wings.
