EXQUISITE CORPSES

The surrealists were great fans of Victorian parlour games such as THE EXQUISTE CORPSE.This can be a game of random drawings making a whole or a story with words.
Sometimes surprising combinations create strange synchonicity.

  1. Each student supplied one line,without knowing what the preceeding or following line would be.The same goes for the Q+A.At the end the complete sequence is revealed in order to much hilarity and sometimes ,disquiet.
    This story seems to intimate a terrible crime during a bad harvest...I wonder if Herr Doctor and Mr Giggles have ever met eachother?

  2. This is the Story made in class with ten people

    It was a Tuesday afternoon, when

    a camel came bounding down the road and knocked over some small children, what a tragedy, but all was not lost

    because he liked to root around in his pants then smell his fingers.

    He watched mummy get dragged into the woods

    Because she had no idea what was going on. She reached into her pocket

    And the chicken was knighted for his worthy efforts

    And it rained and rained

    Until, as the sun set, they realised the grain would not go to waste.

    THE END.
