A simple exercise in group awareness and physical responsiveness.
Rules:
One player enters and begins a repetitive sound and action. Once that is established, a second improviser comes up and takes a position relative to the first, beginning a different repetitive sound and action. Each improvisor enters and becomes part of the machine. After the machine is established, performers may freeze and identify the machine (i.e. “Oh, it’s a top spinner and tabbouleh mixer.”)
Objectives:
To increase group awareness. To practice making, incorporating and justifying physical offers.
Comments:
When in doubt, keep it simple.
