Facilitator Guide

Opening Script:

"Tell 20–30 seconds, end in a freeze pose. Next person resumes from that tableau. Keep it PG and punchy."

Closing Script:

"Freeze frames that ‘hand off’ clearly make it easier to continue. Design good handoffs in our work too."

Why This Works

Embodied storytelling trains listening, status shifts, and transitions. The freeze creates a strong visual anchor.
