Playing it safe
Life has been restricted, and the rules are ever-changing. Focusing on what we can't do is endlessly frustrating — so we've decided focus on what we can do! After all, rules are the fixings of games! Just like any of our favourite impro games, the COVID-19 pandemic challenged us to follow rules, to identify opportunities within them, and to play on in pursuit of our goals. And so, we've discovered four unique ways to play it safe.
Team up with Us
Join us for a Heads Together (online) or Hive Mind (outdoors) session via the link below. Alternatively, if you represent a group and would like to organise sessions, contact us at hello@grandstretch.com.
An Hour of Play // Online Sessions
Heads Together
Combining Impro games, storytelling and scene-work as you've never played before to explore virtual realities, to tell meaningful and memorable stories, and to create extraordinary experiences for online players on “new normal” platforms like Zoom. Put your game face on, and let's get our Heads Together!
An Hour of Play // Outdoor Sessions
Hive Mind
On your marks at 2m social distancing, get "ready" for the ultimate brainstorm, and let go! Hive Mind brings open minds together in the air for a fast-paced, fun-filled and fluid experience fuelled by shared focus games in non-stop synergetic play to create supersonic connection — and we're absolutely buzzing about it!
Focused Workshops // with Masks and Social Distancing
Elbow Room
How do we stage worthwhile Theatre at arm’s length? We make Impro games of playing it safe! While we're wearing face-masks, avoiding props and incorporating social distancing, Elbow Room experiments with bodies and voices, exploring the dynamic spaces between us in creating vivid worlds around vibrant characters.
Focused Workshops // adaptable with Social Distancing
Stand Alone
We come together to shine a supportive spotlight on stand-alone acts — exploring the principles of storytelling, playing with comedic and dramatic devices, harnessing physical acting techniques and preparing players to be unprepared in presenting theatrically infused solo acts.
