A family scene: the audience picks an activity they are doing together — barbecuing, playing cards, decorating the Christmas tree — and the actors establish the activity, the characters and their relationships. Then somebody calls a break and the audience chooses a feeling for one of them.

Hold with care
  • Family scenes reach people's own families quickly, and an assigned feeling inside one can land closer to home than the frame suggests
