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

[furnaceface]

//Alright,// Jono said, once again starting class by sitting on the edge of the Danger Shop stage, //this week, we're going to be playing a game called Little Voice. It's another one of those fairly straightforward things... one of you is interacting with your surroundings, and then something within those surroundings begins to speak to you. That something is, of course, the person you've paired off with, speaking at you from offstage. It should be made clear by one of you what the object is that's doing the talking, be it a toothbrush or a duck with a machete, and the content of that conversation is up to you.//

He pulled himself to his feet.

//For example, I walk into the scene and start to act out getting ready for my day. Shave my face, comb my hair, reach for my toothbrush and... whoever is playing the toothbrush leads in with a line like, 'I'm very disappointed in you, Carl. You and I both know the bubblegum-flavoured toothpaste is for children. And do you ever floss?' And while it would be a valid reaction to shriek and run offstage because my toothbrush is talking to me, I'm going to carry on a conversation with my toothbrush, anyway.//

Apparently as a guy named Carl. Who had things like teeth. Lucky Carl.

//So, pair up, pick a setting between you, and choose who gets to be onstage and who gets to be a tiny voice, and then get going.//
