Team Tease: Group Dynamics in Jest
Writing the Satire
Teams are satires herd – tease them light. Target a squad: “Group says win – we flop.” Hit the sync – cheers, flops: “Team says one – Im off.” Keep it fun – grim flops. Write: “Crew says go – I stop.” Improv troupes inspire. Start yours: “Gang says yes – I no.” Practice turns unity into uproar.
Teaching the Technique
Teach team jabs with a sync twist. Give “group wins” – twist: “Won so big, I lost!” Show improv gags – crew, zing. Steps: squad, quirk, jab. Assign “team flop” – spark: “Flop so tight, I flew!” Discuss fun: light wins. Warn off dark – jest rules. Tease-off: pitch a jest, best uproar wins. Teams are beats – teach them to beat it.
