Emotional Squares<\/h1>\n

Description<\/h2>\n

The stage is divided into four quadrants (the boundaries of which are not visibly drawn). The players (or host) get an emotion for each quadrant from the audience. The players start a scene, during which they assume the emotion of whichever quadrant (or quadrants) they are in. Players may move back and forth between quadrants at any time and in any order, and they are allowed to both be in the same quadrant at the same time.<\/p>\n

Teaching Purpose<\/span><\/h2>\n

A fun way to get people used to playing scenes and helps students to learn to use the whole space when performing. This game is also a great way to play around with emotions in a scene and showing how having feelings in a scene creates relationships and narrative more easily and quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of the time in real life, we feel something before we know why. Let your characters have fun finding the WHY!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
