Distance Game | |||
Where are we? | Description | ||
This is a Game. It is in the following categories:
|
How it Works Two players stand a few feet apart facing each other and have the most boring 4-line interchange possible. They then each secretly pick a specific distance they want to be from the other person and repeat the interchange while maintaining the distance. The maintaining of distance automatically seems to affect people's emotional commitment and inflection. The key is to have a specific distance in mind down to the inch. If one person picks 1 foot but the other picks a foot and a half. You will see some interesting conflict because of that extra half a foot. Variations Play a scene where the players are connected by a stick, a piece of rope or wood. You can even use a match stick. | ||
