incorporating a story element into the established scenario
There are times when you need to incorporate a story element with the moment at hand. It could be anything—an offer from the spect, a critical plot point, an important line of dialogue. Whatever the case, when you connect a story element with whatever is going on, that’s merging.
Exercises
Two players play a scene in which they build the context of the scene. After each player has made three offers, Player B makes a wildcard offer that is unrelated to the scene. Player A incorporates the wildcard offer with the scene at hand. Then the process is repeated in a new scene, with Player A introducing the wildcard and Player B connecting it to the scene.
Exercises
Players move randomly through the space without making physical contact. The leader calls out a number and players gather into groups of that number. Players make physical contact with every other person in their group. The leader calls, “Mingle,” and all players resume moving randomly through the space. Different numbers continue to be called.
Exercises
Paired players face each other. One is the leader, the other the follower. The follower reflects the moves of the leader. After a while, they switch who leads and who follows.
