This activity on Invitational Rhetoric is closely related to the theatre game 'Yes, and. . ."-- in fact, when played with a group of theatre-based artists, they were eager to engage and quite comfortable with the expectations. We found the activity to not only be engaging, but to lead to deeper conversations that branched into more conversations about cultural expectations and individual responses. Additionally, we found ourselves utilizing and applying the boundaries of the activity to conversations that played out over the course of the afternoon, long after we had concluded the activity. While at first the structure may feel somewhat artificial, when you commit fully to the action and apply it to lingering questions it actually brings out more questions that bring out more 'yes, and' quandaries, leading to even more insightful thought processes. We found it to invite deep thought, a more positive outlook on contrary opinions, and more interest in exploring ideas rather than outright opposition.
