Body Language Workshop Activities

A fun and interactive way for participants to use their body language and get to know each other a bit.

One person gives a suggestion and everyone does what they say. 

The activity is aimed so that community or group grows closer and forms bonds through listening to each other's hearts.

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.

Group game that plays with the tension between following your desires vs. running away from your fears. 

One person turns to the person next to them & makes a sound & motion,
person 2 responds with complementary sound & motion.
play is passed around the circle (2 to 3, etc.)

One at a time, people add to create a moving, noise-making machine. 

One person mimes an activity and the next person asks 'what are you doing' They then answer with a different activity that the asker then mimes.

The following activities are part of dance and theatre therapy methods and they are intended to explore body movements and create connections within the group.

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.
