Main | Co/Lab Music Composition »

At the Co/Lab, 5&6 May 2006
Three groups of four people each created performances based on the following.

Create a short (9-12 minute) action comedy that includes four (yes, four)
sections:

I. The Exposition, including revelation of good and evil

II. The Chase Scene

III. The Battle

IV. The Heartwarming Resolution

V. The Twist (which can go between any of the previous sections)

You must also include

- an object that you create, and that can be used as a weapon, a disguise,
and a means of secret communication all in one
- a soundtrack (at some point)
- a boring daily activity
- three lines you overhear in a public place
- romance
- offstage action
- revelation of object
- sound from an unexpected source
- 15 seconds of unison movement
- 15 seconds of laughter/crying, can’t tell which
- a specific role for the audience
- an overdose of epithets
- hostages
- a code and/or secret communication
- supersweet action names
- an explosion
- words in another language, or at least in a foreign accent
- repetition
- destruction of all stereotypes
- no mime

You may also use the written scenes, anything from the games, and anything
from our blog as part of your scene.
