The Harold
Consists of three acts of three scenes each, interspersed with group games. Act one introduces the themes, act two explores and heightens them, and act three brings all the stories together.
The Armando
Begins with a monologue that inspires the series of scenes that follow. Players draw on themes and elements from the monologue to create improvised scenes.
The La Ronde
Focuses on a series of two-person scenes. Each scene has one character carry over to the next until the final scene circles back to include the first character.
The Living Room
Players have an informal conversation, similar to chatting in a living room, from which scene ideas are generated and explored.
The Bat
Performed in the dark or with blindfolds to heighten auditory and verbal detail. Scenes are depicted through sound and dialogue without visual aid.
The Deconstruction
Begins with a core scene, which is then 'deconstructed' through subsequent scenes that explore elements of the original in greater detail or from different angles.
The Movie
Imitates the tropes and styles of filmmaking. Scenes are performed as if they are part of a movie, complete with edits, cuts, and camera angles.
The Pretty Flower
Features a central strong scene (the 'pretty flower'), surrounded by a series of satellite scenes ('petals') that explore characters or themes related to the central scene.
JTS Brown
No sweep edits or tag-outs are used. Instead, transitions between scenes involve physical or verbal 'swipe-edits'. Players build a universe where every character potentially exists together.
The Soap Opera
Mimics the dramatic and serialized nature of soap operas. Players develop melodramatic characters with intertwined storylines that evolve over the course of the performance.
