N-Word Sentences

Focus

Ask for a pair of volunteers, and a number between 2 and 5 from the

audience. The volunteers will then perform a scene, alternating dialogue,

with sentences containing only the number of words received from the

audience. If they use to many or too few, they are eliminated and a new

volunteer may take their place.

APPLICATION: This exercise forces the volunteers to be succinct in their

dialogue. Nonverbal communication is also important here as it will take

the place of any extraneous verbiage.
