We've been tinkering with our meetings, playing theater games together, brainstorming actions, delving into them, letting them go, and two nights ago we came up with an agenda that will, hopefully, when repeated over time, help us to evolve our performances organically.
It's pretty simple.
HOMEWORK: Bring an idea for a skit – preferably with at least some variation from previous skits and ideas.
Agenda:
- Acting Games
- Food and Eating
- Break into pairs and develop a skit to present to group
- Group presentations
- Discussion
During discussion, those who are interested in presenting one or more of the skits out in the world can connect with each other. We can talk also about our public performances, explore what informed our choices in the skits, and get suggestions for future presentations. The beauty of this is that one or more people might come back the next week and do the same skit someone else did the previous week, perhaps with a new twist, and we might thus unite around a single performance – or we might just keep exploring!
In the meanwhile, those of us who want to go out and perform can and will do so with each other. This has the benefit of getting us out in twos and threes, getting comfortable with each other and with public performances, and developing our repertoire.
