The apples roll and pirouette, yelping when picked. Binion and Lara are chopped down. Blazer and Bolluyt, the remnants of the trunk, sit on the floor and transform themselves into a boat. When Graves steps in between their knees to mime rowing, Weaver breaks up. B.J. and Jason are Boat.
Improvised stories are the first large project of the semester.
Weaver presents the first story as an example. Each student chooses a story, reads it aloud, and stages it in class. Weaver leaves the room, giving them 30 minutes to work out the sketch, then returns to watch. He has no trouble involving everyone. Andrea Coleman is the teacher.
