Week 1 Copy Copy

Punch up or sideways, never punch down!

During this class term

You can go to any show for free with you student ID (as long as the show isn’t sold out)
You need to attend 1 show and 1 jam
o Jams are Wednesday night at 9 and Sunday at 4
o Once a month there is a short-form jam (keep an eye on social media)

Physicality!

What are you doing (example on youtube)
o One person does a thing, the other person asks “what are you doing?” you respond with
something other than what your action is. The asker then adopts that suggestion and
does that action.
Interpreter
o Two people seated doing an interview. One person stands behind interviewee and acts
out what they are saying.
Slide Show
o Two people sitting discussing a “slide show” two others (out of sight of seated pair) get
into a position. Presenters have to make sense of what the actors are doing and relate it
to their presentation
Playground diss
o Two teams. Middle people go out of the room and other decide 2 adjectives and a noun
to use as a “playground diss.” The two come back in and have to guess words based on
their team acting it out.
Living Scenery (Who’s line example)
o Two people are doing a scene and use two others as props.
▪ Props had to adjust quickly
▪ Actors had to announce what their props were (this is helpful even without
people as props)
Slowmo Olympics (Who’s line example)
o Two people seated being commentators, two people acting out a “sport” in slow
motion.
▪ The slower the better
▪ Super fun to give the “athletes” a personality
▪ Gifts from players and commentators

▪ Trust each other

Touch to talk
o Three people do a scene but you can only speak if you are touching someone.
▪ Forces you to pay attention to your physicality
▪ Really funny when people intentionally stop touching someone when they are in
the middle of saying something.

One good thing
