Devised theater: 4/7/16
After some really, really cool contact improv warmups (pinkies, and noses!!) we went back to working with our "mike lee" scenes. We got some great handouts that explained how such techniques turn into a movie by mike lee, and were told to do 4 scenes total. That was 2 solo scenes for each character, then two combined scenes based on those alone.
My "Dan" went second. "Reynolds" basically was playing guitar at home guy. once again, "Dan" spent his Sunday afternoon, playing video games, trolling on FB, and looking at porn on 4chan.
Their first meeting was at a gas station. "Dan" tried to grab "Reynolds" attention, by having him look at a centerfold of Jessica Nigri, the professional cosplayer in a "game informer" magazine. "Reynolds" shied away, as "Dan" accused him of not being american, being a Canadian etc....
The final scene, was a reprise of the hospital scene with my "Dan" suffering from carpal tunnel. They had some "hey it was you" banter, and got in each other's faces a bit with verbal banter. Was a lot of fun.
Likewise, the other groups did some amazing things. There was the "bad at yoga" gal, and the "guy from high school picking up chicks" guy, and the "press button over and over on redbox" gamer geek. Really, really, nice stuff.
