Improvisational Drama Exercises
Meet San Francisco Bay Area Spiritual Minds
Step Outside Culturally Bound Acting
Improvisation ally Step
Outside the Box.
Feelings of magic can come
as we free ourselves.
Enter new states of
consciousness.
Transcend culturally bound
thought patterns:
Improvisation ally act in ways outside typical behavioral
patterns. Unique thoughts and feelings emanate, as we become freer from routine
thinking and feeling patterns.
Nurturing Moves:
Safety:
-
Nurturing improvisational drama creates feelings of well
being and caring in the room.
-
Try avoiding actions that condemn or ridicule.
-
Feelings of safety help people crawl out of their shell.
Question Your Rules:
-
Which rules help
or hurt your imaginative drama experiences?
-
Reconsider the
rules by which you behave.
-
Like gravity and
civil laws, rules are inevitable, and keep things in place. Rules give form to
routine, and less routine life drama.
-
The creative
drama group democratically changes the dramatic rules for the fun of it. Rules
now feel less restrictive as they’re temporary and democratically agreed to.
-
Rules shape
drama. What drama form shall we explore?
-
Select a few
rules, include silly ones like: whisper; exaggerate feelings of skepticism; get
silly; pretend we’re children; keep three feet apart from each other.
-
Change arbitrary
rules every 15 minutes. Durations can be extended after the group gets to know
each other.
-
Revert back to
socially normal role playing for the heck of it. Discover how this feels
different, like coming back to the United States after being abroad for an
extend journey.
Possible Drama Forms:
-
Friendly monkey improvisations.
-
Imaginative enchanted monk.
-
Ancient Japanese Noh theater improvisation. Suave
enchanted movements while living in some la la land. Noh can be more subtle and
subliminally provocative than kabuki.
-
Speaking with sound and or words of wonder.
-
Silent motion picture film.
-
Ramble about silly nonsense while retaining some level of
rational.
-
British Tea Party: Charming and witty conversations.
Feel partially grounded and restrained, while balancing this with unbounded
enchanted imagination.
-
Express curiosity.
Feeling Foolish is OK:
-
Awkward feelings are normal when stepping
outside familiar patterns.
-
Feelings of foolishness during improvisational
drama with fellows in our drama group, often subsides as we get to know each
other.
