Theatre Games Fun for You! (Post #4)

Playwriting

"An improviser can study status transactions, and advancing, and 'reincorporating', and can learn to free-associate, and compose stories" (138 Johnstone). This is a game for you to make up a story; like storytelling. 

Word at a Time

You say what comes to mind, as if "the story is being told by some outside force." (131 Johnstone). To say what comes to your mind, you need to be relaxed and not worry about being obvious. 
"One extraordinary way to play word-at-a-time games is to ask a whole group to tell the story, all speaking together. I don't know how to convince you that this is possible, but most groups can succeed at it, if you approach them at the right moment." (138 Johnstone).
