This week started out with a very challenging game. We had 3 progressions going around the circle at once. One progression was calling the name of the next person. Each person would call the name of the next person, continuing around as we got to the end. The second progression was making eye contact with someone and saying "you." Lastly we would say a fruit or vegetable. When your fruit or vegetable came up you would say the next one in the sequence. Three progressions at once really stretched your listening ability. As if that wasn't enough, we had to move to the next person in the progression too!!! Patrick says this game is as close to improv you can get without it actually being improv.
Next we had a party where we endowed other party goers to be a movie star, funniest person in the world, someone just let out of prison, or a fatally ill person. This game was not my favorite as it seemed quite predictable. I realize it gave us a chance to practice the same endowments, but I didn't get the chance to reflect to make the best use of that.
Lastly we played a really fun game where we interviewed people for a TV show. You would play the interviewee, and then the interviewer. The best approach was to keep it simple. There were some awesome pieces done in this one. The knitting show was my favorite, although wine in a can was terrific too.
We learned PEVO for endowments - Physical, Emotional, Vocal, and Occupational.
