I have a group of actors/role players who need to learn how to think creativity; how to solve problems put before them. The setting is a comic book style universe.
I have shown them a lot of comic book cartoons, but they can’t figure out how to get into a locked room.
Shame on you Higurash… talk about a non answer. If I wanted a Google search I would do it, which I did, I was looking for more than just some little meaningless quip.
The thing about the comic book world is how to make the impossible possible and merely just showing some comic books to someone can help for some ideas but exercises are the main way of teaching someone the ideal style for a comic book.
When I mean an exercise, I mean give the main points.
Such as:
Character:
Good points:
Flaws:
Enemies:
Problem:
Solution:
Any outside info:
As far as problems put before them, if the world that they are playing in is practically close to tangible ( their character and personality as well as the world they are placed in) then it should come easy to them. But of course, each person have their own level of creativity and some are better than others.
Being once a role player myself, it is definitely hard when you have to communicate to the other person where your story is going exactly. Like I said before, give them exercises to work with and problems to deal with to get their creative juices flowing and maybe they can figure out how to get into a locked room.
Here is a source that maybe can help you. It’s more for creative writing but the bottom of the page might help you somewhat with exercises.
Creative Thinking, Innovation, Creativity Training

You can find alot of "creativity excersise" ideas all over the web. Just search in yahoo or google. Good luck.
Sorry, you asked a question and I answered it. You don’t have to accept it if you don’t like it. I used to love yahoo answers, until rude people like you started surfacing. You can still disagree with my answer without being mean. Shame on you.
