The group completed a “shake it out” fun countdown, a “seven things” exercise with categories like seven actors, excuses for being late, and cold things, and then practiced multiple two person three line scenes and one longer “expert” press conference game. In the expert game, Brooke roleplayed Dr. Shavon Smith about secret bookcase bunkers, and Michelle roleplayed Sheila Schonkweiler about cheeses made from exotic milks. They also discussed keeping scenes non transactional, responding with yes and, and staying succinct.</description></oembed>
