Each player in the scene has a shadow player who tells them how to respond—either with words, sounds, or silent body language. As the scene progresses, language is used less and less, until players are only using sounds and body language.

Variations

Quadrants – In one part of the stage, players speak, in another, they use sounds, and in another, they use body language.

Notes

• This exercise is good for exploring deeper connections than talking.
