GENRE CARDS

Enhance scenes, characters and storytelling with

these GENRE and MUSIC GENRE

cards.

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES:

GENRE SCENES–Add a genre to any scene or improvisation to

enhance the scene. Perform a scene multiple times in different genres to discover new things about characters and gain new scene perspective.

GENRE SHIFT–In pairs or small groups, students devise and

perform a scene that begins in one genre and develops into a second genre.

MUSIC VIDEOS–In small groups, students devise and perform a

music video in their allocated music genre. Give students a title or “song name”.

GENRE QUICK SWITCH–Individually; in pairs or small groups,

students play out a monologue or scene and switch genre quickly on cue. A fun and challenging activity and a great rehearsal boost to lift energy when going over lines or the same scenes. Involve audience members by having them pick cards and call out the new genre.

FAIRYTALE SHAKE-UP–In small groups, re-tell and perform a

well known fairytale in an allocated genre. TIP: USE “CHARACTER” “LINE” AND “TITLE” CARDS ALONGSIDE THIS SET
