Where With Unrelated Activity

Exercise Intermediate 15 min 2–2

Description

This exercise involves two players who agree on a 'Where' (location) and 'Who' (characters) while engaging in a mutual activity, such as a dance lesson or building a boat. The twist is that the activity should not depend on the chosen location, leading to creative and unexpected interactions.

Point of Concentration
