🧠Trip

Flow

The Trip is organic improv: the show grows out of what the players do on stage.

There are usually five to seven players. All of them are on stage and involved the entire time — that is the key of the form. The show usually lasts 25 to 35 minutes.

1. Group game

A suggestion leads to a group game.

2. Morphing from game to game

The form of the show is a constant morphing of one organic game into the next. The team attempts to recognize patterns — whatever repeats — and to come back to games it has already played. Such a return is called a callback.

3. The occasional scene

There is the occasional scene. A two-person scene always features the rest of the group portraying the environment.

4. Ending

The show ends with a player stepping forward to get the suggestion again. The idea of the ending: the whole show took place inside the brain in the split second when the suggestion is yelled out.
