Summary

An improv form I developed.

Details

Two person scene, anchored in one place. On occasion, one of the two actors jumps into another character that would logically be there. For example, Joe (played by Bill) and Martha (played by Sue) are at a restaurant. During the scene, Bill jumps up and moves to a new spot and is now Carl, the waiter. They (but mainly “Martha”) interact with Carl and then Bill resumes being Joe. Later, Sue jumps up as the same waiter Carl and then returns to being Martha.

Two performers play one scene in a single location. Either performer may briefly become a supporting character who belongs there, then return to their original role. Both performers play that supporting character consistently.

Example: Bill (Joe) and Sue (Martha) are at a restaurant. Bill steps to a new spot as Carl, the waiter, who mainly talks with Martha, then returns as Joe. Later, Sue plays Carl, then returns as Martha.
