Exercise Beginner 15 min 3–30

Description

Players walk through the space as the facilitator calls out different environments. They must physically respond to the temperature, terrain, atmosphere, and emotional quality of each location.

Setup Requirements

Large open space for movement

Point of Concentration

Letting the environment affect your whole body

Side Coaching

Feel the temperature! How does the air feel? What's under your feet? Let the place change how you move.

Points of Observation

Are players showing distinct physical changes? Are they being specific or generic? Do we believe the environment?

Evaluation

Which environments were easiest to embody? What physical sensations did you notice? How did the place affect your emotional state?

Examples

Desert heat, arctic cold, swamp, mountaintop, underwater, outer space, crowded subway, empty cathedral.
