Instructions

- Performers form a circle either standing, sitting in chairs, or on the floor.

- The session leader or selected student will begin telling a story.

- After about 30sec-1min, the leader will point to the next person in the circle. This person will continue the story immediately.

- After a certain period, the story will move on to the next in the circle. There should be no repeating of the previous student's last line in attempt to "buy time"; the story should simply go on without any stalling tactics or time to think ahead.

- Should be a spontaneous exercise where any direction the story takes is acceptable.

- Once the story has run its course, the activity should then be concluded by the session leader.
