I think this is a genius exercise for improvisers.
Like it was said in class, it is not about making a clever or the right decision during a scene.
It is about learning how to be quick and even if it makes no sense accept what the other person is saying to get somewhere and finally to solve the problem.
I personally tend to block others, without meaning it, I tend to be negative and that just does not work to make a scene successful. Sometimes I think is a natural response for me trying to look smarter than the other person, so even if is a stupid scene I won’t look so stupid. I do not mean to do it consciously . I have not gotten the opportunity to perform this game but I’ll go next time and I know they will make me change my choice for a more positive one or just a better one.
This exercise does not only help you to always be ready to accept what the other is offering but also makes you be fast , simple and sincere. You have little time to think what to say, so whatever you’ll pick next is an honest response, you cannot fake it because you have to say whatever comes right up to your mind. Even if it makes no sense, most of the time, it ends up working.
Since this exercise gives you almost no time to change what you are doing on stage, makes you act more like an improviser and just go with it instead of worrying what to say next.
