Night Watchman︎︎︎
Night Watchman is one of the most fun theater games for big groups or small groups alike. This game requires players to imitate statues under the watch of a Night watchman. The players will try to move without getting caught.
To play this game,
You can customize the game to be just a fun no-winner game. In that case, any player that the Night watchman catches becomes the new Night watchman.
To play this game,
- First, decide which player will be the Night watchman. This player can move around freely during the game
- Other players take the form of statues. The players can take a few steps around, but the Night watchman must not see them move
- Once the Night watchman sees a player move, the player is out of the game
- The Night watchman can do things to make the players laugh and move. However, the Night watchman cannot touch any of the players
- Set the rules of the game according. It would be best if you did not count breathing, blinking, and smiling as movements that will disqualify a player
You can customize the game to be just a fun no-winner game. In that case, any player that the Night watchman catches becomes the new Night watchman.

Welcome to mapping collaboration, a toolbox for workshopping and creating across disciplines...
In spite of a long history of interdisciplinary creation, from our earliest recorded arts to our present moment, artistic pedagogy has created divisions between disciplines. This has left artists in a "post-Babel" condition where we don't share the same language and definitions. It’s also encouraged artists to develop practices for devising, creating and composing work that are distinct to their disciplines.

This has left artists in a "post-Babel" condition where we don't share the same language and definitions. It’s also encouraged artists to develop practices for devising, creating and composing work that are distinct to their disciplines.
The inspiration for this project came from faculty and students at Simon Fraser University’s School for the Contemporary Arts where BFA, MFA and PhD programs in Dance, Theatre Production and Design, Visual Art, Film, and Music and Sound all work together in studio settings and playfully experiment with processes of art-making.
We wanted to create a database of projects, assignments and theory that we collect inside the studio and from research happening in other places. We are curious about how we collaborate and how structures reoccur, translate and deviate from one discipline to another.
Composition is central to these processes and offers a base for our approaches and experiments. We are excited about what our students are doing and inspired by the new languages in contemporary art and performance we continue to see develop.
