Instructions
Divide players into two teams and establish a “rope.” Then have them start a pantomimed tug-of-war.
Coach actors to really feel the rope and to be aware of moving with their team members to create the illusion. Ask audience players for feedback on how believable the actors were.
Once actors receive feedback, ask them to try the exercise again.
