Player A and Player B each play a character that they have developed. They determine (or are given) a circumstance in which their characters might encounter each other. They play out a scene that illustrates particular traits, perspectives, and characteristics of each of their characters.

Variations

3 or more – Three or more players can play in a shared circumstance.

Notes

• Focus on each of the characters’ perspectives, not on the development of plot.
• If working with three or more players, use good give and take to give focus to each character.
