Tuesday, September 5th: 

Warm-ups:

“Murder”

“Mafia”

Read scenes from How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

Wednesday, September 6th: 
Warm-ups: 
Dreamlogic - newly created improv
Two people are involved in a scene with a relationship and a conflict of some sort. 
One leaves; the other goes to sleep and begins to dream 
As s/he is dreaming, a character comes into the scene as the dreamer's secret unconscious desires and begins to interact with the dreamer.
Then another character enters the scene as the dreamer's secret unconscious fears and begins to interact with the dreamer her/his secret unconscious desires
Then another character enters the scene as the dreamer's anima or animus and begins to interact. 
Finally, another character enters as the dreamer's shadow and begins to interact. 
Because it's a dream and there is dream logic, random people can enter the dream as different, weird, unrelated characters, such as a kangaroo, an astronaut, a hairbrush, etc.
Finally, the dreamer wakes up and confronts the characters.
