This is a theatrical improvisation activity focused on practicing spontaneous reactions and adaptability to changing situations, essential for developing the capacity for immediate response and effectively managing unexpected turns in a therapeutic or performance context. This format involves two or more people, where one starts in a neutral position while another enters the scene with a conflict proposal. As the scene concludes, the neutral person exits, and the one who introduced the conflict assumes the neutral role, continuing the cycle with new participants introducing new conflicts.

• To enhance participants' ability to respond spontaneously and authentically based on intuition and experience.

• To foster flexibility and creativity in adapting to new situations and conflicts presented by others.

• To develop emotional resilience and quick thinking in the face of unexpected challenges.

• Here and now: encouraging participants to engage fully with the present moment and respond to immediate stimuli.

• Awareness: fostering an increased consciousness of one's reactions, feelings, and choices in response to presented conflicts.

• Contact: improving the ability to make and maintain contact with others in dynamic and changing situations.

A designated performance space that allows for free movement and interaction among participants.

Approximately 45-60 minutes, including preparation, performance, and discussion.

1. Preparation: brief participants on the objectives and structure of the activity. Arrange participants in a semi-circle with a clear performance space in the center.

2. Starting the improvisation: one participant starts in a neutral position in the center. Another participant enters with a conflict proposal and interacts with the neutral participant.

3. Cycle continuation: after each scene, the participant who was neutral exits, and the one who introduced the conflict becomes neutral for the next participant's entry. This cycle repeats, allowing everyone to experience both roles.

4. Flexibility and authenticity: encourage participants to be flexible and creative, adapting quickly to the new situations presented. The neutral participant should aim for authentic and spontaneous reactions.

For participants with limited mobility, focus on verbal improvisation or seated movements. For those less comfortable with acting, offer simple prompts or allow them to participate in pairs or small groups for support. In virtual settings, use breakout rooms or digital props to facilitate interaction. For neurodiverse participants, provide clear structure, visual cues, and the option to opt out of high-energy scenes.

After the improvisation, gather the group to reflect on how it felt to respond spontaneously and build on each other’s actions or ideas. Encourage participants to share what surprised them, what emotions came up, and how they handled unexpected moments. Emphasize the value of trust, creativity, and being present in the moment.

• Improved spontaneity and adaptability in participants' responses to changing scenarios.

• Enhanced understanding of emotional and behavioral patterns in response to conflict.

• Greater confidence in participants' improvisation skills and creative expression.

Ensure a supportive atmosphere that encourages risk-taking and authenticity. Debrief with participants to discuss their experiences, focusing on the emotional and psychological aspects of navigating improvised conflicts. You can highlight the value of flexibility, presence, and emotional honesty in both theatrical and real-life contexts.
