Thursday, May 5th:
Theatre Games:
Break into teams and create machines with their bodies
Game:
Three people are called up. A scenario is given to them. Then each actor is given an action and a trigger - when ever one of the other people in the scene does something (raise her/his hands above the waist, take two steps, put hands together, etc) the actor has to do some bizarre action - start rapping, barking like a dog, dancing, etc. Then after the scene each actor is asked what he thinks the other person's "Trigger" was - or what s/he did that made the other actor start rapping, barking, or dancing, etc.
Subtext scene:
Montserrat: her sister is late to their lunch date, where she tells Montserrat that she just got a job at Vogue in New York and can't spend the summer with her in San Francisco. Montserrat is jealous of her sister and doesn't want to be the good girl anymore. Montserrat hates the idea of studying health and sciences and living with her boyfriend in San Francisco; she would rather move to New York like Nancy and live a free, glamorous, bohemian life.
Nancy: feels that M. is the golden child who lives up to their parents' expectations - M. is moving to San Francisco to live with her boyfriend to study health and social sciences. Nancy is resentful of M. for being the favored child of the family. Nancy's move to New York to be a Vogue photographer is a blow against her family and their perception of her as a "black sheep" and a blow for her independence from her family.
Julia - is a co-worker at Starbucks. She is gay but doesn't want Melissa to know that for fear that Melissa wouldn't like her. She makes up a fictitious boyfriend but secretly has a crush on Melissa.
Melissa - a co-work at Starbucks. She is a serially killer and wants to kill Julia.
