The Encyclopedia of Interactive Performance

Two players play a scene in which one player is responsible for establishing the characters, activity, and location of the scene. The scene stops when all three elements have been established.

Variations

Ping pong checklist – Player A establishes one element of the context. Player B establishes a different element of the context. Player A establishes the remaining context element.

Batting cleanup – Player A establishes two elements of the context. Player B just plays. Player C enters the scene and establishes the missing contextual element.

Notes

• The player who is not establishing context plays in whatever way they like.
