Today's ACTivity: What Are You Doing?
-Group gets in a line at the edge of the acting space
-The first person enters the space and begins to pantomime a simple activity--for example, brushing his teeth.
-The second person runs on and says, "What are you doing?"
-The first person may answer anything EXCEPT what he/she is actually doing. In our example he might say, "I'm washing the car."
-The moment the second person hears the answer, she must begin to pantomime the mentioned activity.
-The first person goes to the end of the line and the third person runs on and says, "What are you doing?"
Pointers
The person acting MUST NOT STOP until he or she has answered the question. Side coach to make sure.The new person MUST START IMMEDIATELY when the answer is heard.
The answer MUST NOT be what the person is doing, but, for convenience, it should also NOT be something that LOOKS LIKE what the person is actually doing.
