"Hi, guys. We're here today learning how to do some improv warm-ups, and now we're going to teach you the warm-up "Distorting Mirrors." If you've been following our video series, you've seen us demonstrate to you how to play the theater game "Mirrors." Now we're going to show you how to distort characteristics of that game. To play this game, you're going to want your team to partner up into pairs of two and face each other, just like you did with the original "Mirrors" exercise. At this point in time, in the original game, one player would be mirroring the action of the other. Now, for "Distorted Mirrors," one actor, who is going to be designated the distorter, is going to distort and heighten the attributes that the original person demonstrated. I think you'll understand once you see us play. And that's how you play "Distorted Mirrors.""
