===== Training other moderators =====

[[/teaching/steps_to_become_a_moderator|Here you will find the steps to become a moderator]]

===== First words in front of the group =====

Please use the CRIST acronym to remember to name the following topics
  * **C**ontributions: You will talk about this at the end of the workshop. A lot of people are eager to pay up-front
  * Insect **R**epellent and sun protection cream is available for everyone if it is summer
  * **I**mprov-Theater prepares us for unexpected situations. This is a safe environment to make mistakes. Our community doesn't focus on improving drama skills.
  * The **S**top word in our group is "Pineapple". If someone feels uncomfortable in a scene, he/she says "Pineapple", we freeze the scene and replace him/her with another player. This delegates part of the responsibility of identifying discomfort on the players and the players can take more risks on stage because they know how to stop any discomfort
  * Location of the **T**oilette because it is annoying to interrupt the workshop to explain where the toilettes are

===== Last words in front of the group =====

  * We ask for **Contributions** to pay the rent of the rooms and the meetup.com fees
  * Because we like to hang out together, the moderator or a regular proposes **where  to go for drinks**
