Procedure
- Circle with volunteer in centre
|
Cohesion + self-confidence |
- The player ‘A’ in the centre is a neutral person. He is not able to speak until spoken to and will be a partner in any scene which another player wishes to involve him in.
|
|
- Player ‘B’ with a situation in mind, puts hand on A’s shoulder and says “You really did it this time Mabel…” and follows it up with eg” you broke Edna’s brassiere”
|
|
- A replies in a way he wishes and they enter into dialogue
|
Creative thinking
spontaneous verbal interaction |
- Players must not negate statements eg “Edna’s only two years old”
|
|
- At some point C taps B on shoulder “and you really did it this time Mabel”
|
Why interrupt at that point? |
- A rejoins circle and B becomes neutral
|
|
- Group responsible for flow of ideas and action
|
Add new ideas if losing impetus |
