Disclosure · what is sharedoptional
A solo improvised monologue directed at a teddy bear, which of course never answers. You can accuse the bear of anything. The source suggests playing a dramatic scene — some kind of emotional conflict or relationship drama between you and the bear.
Hold with care
- A one-sided emotional monologue at a silent object can go somewhere real without warning; the source treats it purely as improvisation practice and offers no way out of it
