Drama improvisation games

This Tuesday started our Drama English module. We are supposed to learn how to loose our mind and discover hidden sources of creativity !

Long way to go ...

First we started with a little warm up, as the course starts at 8 o'clock ^^: we played a cat and mouse game, the cat has to run after the mouse and the mouse tries to escape and has the possibility to ghet secured with other mises but at this time another mouse gets released and has to start running.  I found that game pretty funny and is nothing like we are used to today in our everyday life.

Then we did some other games that enabled us to get to know each others names. One of the games we did was that we say a word and the next person says one that the other word made him think of. This game was interesting because sometimes the next word has nothing to do with the first one and you wonder how it was possible to get there.

During the last hour one person told an improvised story. In my group we had a story about a man falling in love with a woman that was already going out with a dog: then there was something with a dog-human guy ..LOL. This exercise was fun and showed how hard it is to tell a consistent and reasonable story.
I found the course interesting and it forces us to use our creativity plus, to my mind it is good to have non scientific courses =)

** See you next week **
