Instructor established several games and gives numbers to each one. Instructor calls out the number of the game and group quickly takes that shape/pattern/action.

Silent exercise. Three modes of walking at the top of the exercise: neutral walk, fast/hurried walk, slow walk. Then add full stop, then stop & jump, then any mode. Whole group responds when it changes. 

Group sits in circle, one chair in the middle for VOS

2 players improvise a scene, and make distinct strong physical and vocal choices.

Then the roles are reversed, and each player plays the other's character, in the same scene, same location.
