H = Hairspray

David Connolly in conversation with Stephanie Pitsiladous and Brigette Clark Carmichael for Matinee to Z,

a series of Instagram Live Master Classes developed in response to Covid-19.

​

Here’s a recap of some theatre games we shared in the hopes of keeping y’all busy and creating...
•
1, 2, 3 WORD
Two people simultaneously count to 3 and say a word. The object is for you both to say the same thing at the same time.
•
PROP PROMPT
Use random props or household objects to prompt stories and characters. Don’t discuss it beforehand and change characters as you change props.
•
ALIEN INTERVIEW
For two or three people: a talk show host/ interpreter and an Alien guest. The host asks questions, the Alien answers in gibberish and the interpreter interprets the answer which leads to the next question.
•
SHORT SCRIPT
See how many ways/ storylines you can invent using just this script:
Person 1: Hi
Person 2: Hello, how are you?
Person 1: Fine.
Person 2: OK, well, I gotta go.
Person 1: OK.
Person 2: Bye.
•
A NEW-SICAL
Create a song, dance or scene based on any story (existing or invented). Include Main Characters, Supporting Characters, an Incident/ Conflict and a Resolution. Act it out with humans or puppets or animation...
(If you need help inventing a plot, try creating a one-word-at-a-time story with a friend or group.)
