The students playing Alex and friend in each of the tableaux recreate their part of the image and the audience compares how they are the same and how they are different. Then let everyone relax except the pair that conveys the most conflict. Alex wants to take the lava rock and the friend doesn't. Have audience suggest dialogue that could occur between the two characters. In pairs, someone is Alex and someone the friend.
All pairs recreate the image modelled by the previous pair.
Tell students the improvisation should not show Alex taking the rock, but instead should show each character's reasons for wanting to take or not take the rock. Good Angel, Bad Angel Tell students that Alex can hear his Good and Bad Angels giving him advice as he is deciding whether to take the rock. Place a chair in front of the class. The scene shows the Good and Bad Angel telling Alex what to do. All three can interact with each other.
