  1. All acting student stand in a cirlce and one of them stand in the centre of the circle and is the kitty.The person who is the kitty goes to one of the student in the circle and says “kitty wants a corner” and that players respond with “go see my neighbor ..... “(with the name if that player next to you in either direction) then the player who is kitty moves to that student in the circle and ask that question again (you can ask it in different style of voices and add actions if u want) but while all that is taking place in the circle, the other student that are in the circle establish eye contact or catch there attention with very small hand signal and quickly chance place in the circle with them. The student playing the kitty in the middle tries to get to one of there places before the other student. If the kitty succeeds then the student whos left in the middle is on.

  2. I would like to try "Enviroment in a minute" i think we should work in pairs the these pairs take turns creating their Enviroment well in a minute. I would like to try this as it sounds interesting but also challenging.

  4. I like the sound of "Gibberish Conversation"
    Three people sit on stage/blocks (because we have blocks now).
    Two of the three should speak a strange unknown language while it is the job of the third person to translate.
    The "gibberish" language should match the English translation syllable for syllable.

    This sounds like the premise for that game on "Mock the Week" where two of the panellist provide the voices for a scene from the weekly news.

  5. I think trying "Blindfold Scene" could be quite fun.

    Website Description; "All onstage improvisers wear blindfolds while playing the scene. They act as though they were sighted and the scene was a normal scene. For the sake of safety, the stage should be lined with spotters to make sure the onstage players do not walk off the edge of the stage."

    For additional rules, players are prohibited from drawing attention to their lack of sight, nor form any storyline reasoning explaining it. The other players are not allowed to physically alter the position of the blindfolded player nor lead them through anything but verbal means.

    One scenario could be that Person A, who is blindfolded, is shown around a museum or exhibition by Person B, the travel guide; the actual state of the exhibition and what populates it would be down to the rest of the group, and discussed beforehand. Players would be forced to react to looking in the wrong direction or walking into exhibits at the behest of the other player, meaning this game would place emphasis on Player A's ability to follow, whereas it would require Player B to lead in order to make something of a rational scene.
