"Yes, And:" Improv Theatre and You, Wednesday, Period One

[furnaceface]

//Is it another week already? Then should I give you another improv game to keep you occupied today?// Jono gave the class a little nod once they had assembled in the Danger Shop. //What should I dredge up for you this week...?//

He paced back and forth thoughtfully.

//Should I get you all to play that game where you can only communicate in questions? Is the goal of that one straightforward enough?//

He certainly hoped so, because at the rate he was going, he was going to have a hell of a time explaining how Only Questions was played if he was only asking questions himself.

//Would playing out a scene using questions instead of any statements at all be difficult, do you suppose?// He shrugged his shoulders a little. //Would you be more comfortable playing this game in groups of two, or more? And would you like to choose your own topic to ask questions about? Once you've grouped off and chosen what topic to have an inquisitive conversation about, who wants to go first?//

... For the love of the improv gods and all that was theatrical, Jono really hoped he wasn't going to have to try to pull that lecture off again. It wasn't even all that difficult. He just really missed statements.

Jalian eyed Shiemi, hoping she had this right. "Why do you ask?"

Ahhhhh! So pretty! Shiemi just gazed at the other girl for a moment, then shook herself and smiled friendly

"Ano?" Um. Answer as a question... "Because you looked like you might be? Can we talk for a bit, then?"

"What would you like to talk about?" Jalian asked. "Isn't that what we're supposed to decide first?"

If she'd understood Jono properly.

Ah! "We didn't do that, did we?" Shiemi smiled and tried to think of a topic. "Have you done this before?"

Jalian hesitated, thinking. "Do I seem like I have? Is this a common game where you're from?"

"In Japan?" Shiemi shook her head. "Isn't this an American school? Doesn't that mean the game is American?"

"But if the teacher isn't, does that mean the game is from his home?" Jalian asked.

OH! "He's isn't, is he?" Shiemi blinked as she thought about that. "Is he from England?"

"Have you asked him?" Jalian hedged.

"Can we ask questions like that? It's not rude?"

Jalian stared a bit blankly. "Why would it be rude?"
