La Ronde

The La Ronde (redundent, i know) is a longish form improv game.

Two actors (actors A and B) start a scene and immediately establish characters

After a few lines, Actor A is tagged out by actor C and a new scene is started between B and C. B keeps their original character and C establishes a character. After a few lines, Actor B is tagged out, and the pattern is repeated until the last troop member (Actor Z) establishes a character. Then Actor A steps in to finish a scene with Actor Z. Thus each person establishes a character, this should be quick (take no longer than eight minutes.)

Now the group creates two to x person scenes using the characters created during the ronde portion of the form. Wipe edits are used here to end scenes. These scenes should be longer and more robust. This portion of the game should take about twenty minutes, thought that can be adjusted as needed.
