There is a mind/body connection in all things and improv is no different!
This exercise gives us a chance to move our bodies, get the blood flowing, and connect with each other all at once.
This is also another chance to get familiar with each others’ names and get used to speaking in front of the group which will help to build trust and comfort!
Spelling names is another way to help ourselves remember.
*INCLUSIVITY:
- Remind participants to take care of themselves and adjust accordingly to be physically comfortable in this exercise.
- Facilitators can offer accommodations for participants who might be uncomfortable/unable to shake out limbs
- (participate while seated, snap fingers/tap toes, wiggle shoulders/wiggle knees, etc.)
