Volcano

Description

Everyone starts walking around the room. The director shouts out something like “volcano”. By the count of 5 everyone has to become that thing, as a group. They then break away and carry on walking around, until the director shouts a new thing.

The director shouts out something and counts to 5 and everyone has to physically form that thing with each other before the director gets to 5. For instance “Volcano, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! Microwave over, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!”.

Teaching Purpose

Gets everyone moving around, working together and accepting and building on ideas.

Origins

Learnt from Marc Rowland at Montreal Improv.
