How it Works

A scene is played. Whenever the MC ring a bell (or yells 'Ding'), the player that is doing something/saying something needs to say/do something else.

Notes

Doing 'something else' is quite often interpreted as doing/saying the opposite of what you did before. One can be more creative, e.g. repeat what was said in a different emotion.

If you use this as an exercise on Spontaneity the trainer can 'Ding' quite often (very frustrating for the players, but they will come up with stuff they never would have thought of before). Disadvantage of this is that the story/characters tend to get lost. Use sparingly for performance. Also known as Other Choice.
