Method

From the Hoopla website:

This game is really good for teaching immediate support and agreement on stage. It teaches the spirit of improvisation, it’s not necessarily how you would start every scene and game.

5 people are on the sides of the stage.

One person steps on stage and says and does something that immediately establishes a location or situation for the scene.

Everyone else immediately rushes in to say and do things that back up that location or situation.

Then it’s immediately over, you aren’t playing a whole group scene, it is just about the immediate enthusiastic support and agreement for whatever happens first on stage.

Go again and again so that everyone in the group gets to initiate.

Teaching Notes

This game teaches immediate and enthusiastic agreement and support for the first thing that happens on stage.

Keep the scenes short, we’re not really teaching scene work with this. We’re teaching a mode of playing. A mindset.
