Two players engage in a conversation. The dialogue is spoken at a conversational rate. When one player stops talking, the other player immediately starts talking. The goal for both players is to release control over what they say and speak before they know what they are going to say.

Notes

• This exercise should feel like you don’t have control over what’s coming out of your mouth.
• The tempo of dialogue can often lead to conflict. Explore other emotional tones while still picking up cues.
