 » Scene beyond words

A scene is played in which the given context produces emotions so profound that words are not enough. The players engage deeply in the moment with each other, speaking no dialogue.

Variations

Sound effects – Two off-stage players create sound effects during the scene.

Notes

  • Communicate through the silence.
  • Let the emotions live in your body. Don’t simply replace words with gestures and sounds.
