Make More Interesting
Where are we?
Description
This is a Game. It is in the following categories:
How it Works
Simple exercise, useful for players that are too verbal.
One player starts a scene. As soon as the trainer claps his hands, the player needs to make whatever he was doing more interesting, without advancing. If our player was opening a briefcase at the clap, he needs to make 'opening a briefcase' more interesting; he is not allowed to take something out of the briefcase, as that would be advancing; player needs to stick to 'opening the briefcase'.
Notes
Simple to explain but not so easy to play. When done well you move into the clownesque. Think about Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy or Mr. Bean.
Variations
At a second clap, allow the player to advance the scene. Also known as Advancing and Expanding.
