Goal
Explore mirroring our scene partners behavior and explore interesting things. Discuss how this relates to brainstorming and collaboration.
Level of Difficulty:
Beginner
Participants:
Pairs of Two
Instructions:
In pairs of two, get a single word suggestion from the broader group. One person initiates a scene with a clear point of view. For ease, you can pick one of the four primal emotions: Glad, Mad, Sad, Afraid. Then, create a scene interacting with your space Yes-Anding each other’s points of view.
Practical Application:
When does tacit agreement support a conversation? How, when we get in the same emotional state as our peers, can we empathize with their perspective and find agreement? How does the energy change as you match not only words, but attitude and physicality?
