  • Everyone is involved, each scene is usually a two person scene.
  • Two players start and play a short scene. When a beat is reached, one of the non-participating players claps his/her hands and/or calls "Freeze!" The performers immediately stop and freeze in the pose they just have. The player who has clapped taps one of the two players and takes exactly his/her position. Then a completely new scene starts. The two players take their attitudes as a basis for their actions in the new scene. Usually the game idea for the new scene comes from the new player.
  • The excitement of the game is to copy the exact posture down to the last detail and justify it in a new context. A close observation of the scene and postures before the takeover is very important. So that this is possible, the scenes are to be played with a lot of physicality and posture changes. You should end the scene when a beat has just been reached, e. g. after a gag. If the players have also taken an exciting posture during this time, it's even better...

  • You can start the game in different ways:
  • - You let one or two players "obstruct"by someone from the audience.
  • -- The players move around the stage with their whole bodies confused and freeze after a clap from the audience.Variations:==

  • +## Variations:
  • - Blind Freeze: Players line up in a row, the first one with their backs to the scene. The second (or last) in the row sets the freeze, the first one turns around and takes over.
  • - Audience Freeze: Spectators are allowed to clap their hands and freeze.
  • - Before each new scene, a suggestion is quickly (!) requested from the audience.
  • - For all scenes a default suggestion or a certain theme has to be observed.
  • - Scene Marathon/Retro/Director's Cut/Reprise: In the context of an encore, elements (persons, situations) from games of the past performance are integrated into the freeze tag scenes (see Scene Marathon)
  • - In each short scene, sentences are read out from notes filled in by the spectators (see the game Whose line). It's also conceivable that there is a piece of paper left over at the end of the show that can be used as a remainder (see scene marathon).
  • - As a preliminary exercise we could recommend Statue - Scene beginning.
