Each performer contributes one word at a time to create a sentence. These random sentences are connected to create a story.
This is a structured narrative exercise. Each sentence in the narrative begins with the exact words described. The first sentence starts with the classic “Once upon a time.” The player need only contribute a small opening element to the story. For example, “once upon a time there was a dog that chased cars.” The next sentence, supplied by the other player, could be “and every day the dog chased cars.”
Sticks is an exercise with two distinct methodologies. One is a lo fi version that involves no props. The other requires, get ready, sticks. The lo fi version has two players carry out a scene where they are maintaining a specific distance from each other. The prop version of Sticks has the two players holding a stick between the two of them.
