Warm-Ups and Games

*When choosing a warm-up or game for this class – your game/warm-up must have a purpose, a learning target, an application in developing our craft.  This is never a random choice – it must be purposeful. Never waste our time!

• You must be able to articulate your learning intention/goal.
• You must have command of the game/warm-up as you teach it and lead us through it.
• What is it honing regarding our body, voice, mind?
