Monday, February 11th:
Warm-ups: Vocal and Physical

Make Up a Story: The acting tribe stands in a circle. The first actor starts by saying, "Once"; the second actor says, "Upon"; the third actor says, "A "; and the fourth actor says, "Time"; the fifth and subsequent actors then say one word to contribute to the fairy tale. The story goes around the circle with each actor contributing one word to the story.
Just Questions: Two actors face off, with one of the actors beginning. The actors can only ask questions of each other; no statements. The first actor who forgets and replies without a question is out of the game.
Five Words: An actor is secretly given five random nouns: race car, church, red scooter, guitar, etc. The actor has to make up a story using the five random words in under one minute. The other actors have to guess which words were the given words.
The actors are to work quietly on writing their monologues.
