Energiser
Participants use their body as a music instrument and the group as an orchestra!
- Thunderstorm:
- All participants stand in a circle and one person is rubbing hands to simulate the moving of tree leaves before a thunderstorm. The person next to him does the same, and then the next till the whole of the circle does the same thing.
- The person that started the rubbing changes the movement and the neighbour follows and the neighbour after etc. The second movement is clicking fingers on one hand (= it starts to rain), next clicking fingers on both hands, next slapping yourself on the knees and when the thunderstorm really kicks in you can stamp your feet.
- The same movements can then be done in reverse order to chase the rain (sound) away and relax again.
- Noise chain: one person does a rhythm with his/her body, the person who follows has to repeat it and answer to it (by adding a new sound). The following person repeats the rhythm of the person before and answers… Using rhythms most of time gives a lot of energy.
