Improvisation 2: Group Dynamics
In your group you are going to create an improvisation that shows how the
group is getting along on the island.
Think about the following:
Has anyone in the tribe taken the role of the leader? Has everyone in the
tribe been given a responsibility? Is everyone getting along with each other?
How has the group dynamic changed from when you first arrived?
Below are some possible scenarios:

Scenario 1: As a tribe you have selected a leader. Each tribe member

has been given an area of responsibility i.e. hunting for food, building
shelters, searching for help, washing etc. However, some of the tribe
members are not happy about their responsibilities and there is a
divide on the island.

Scenario 2: The tribe has split into two groups and there is some rivalry
between the tribe members. They each select a tribe leader and start
to compete as to who can build the best shelters and who can get the
most food.

Focus on the following success criteria when creating your improvisation:
