Games are frequently employed in theatre pedagogy as training tools for developing physical and improvisational skills. Theatre pedagogists use rules and goals to craft spaces of agential possibility in which actors can discover, experiment, and train various abilities. An analysis of theatre games can therefore reveal how even seemingly minor modifications may produce markedly different experiences. In this short essay, I examine the pedagogical work of the theatre group Hospites Teatro, focusing in particular on how failure conditions are deconstructed and subverted in the design of their theatre games.

Abstract
Games are frequently employed in theatre pedagogy as training tools for developing physical and improvisational skills. Theatre pedagogists use rules and goals to craft spaces of agential possibility in which actors can discover, experiment, and train various abilities. An analysis of theatre games can therefore reveal how even seemingly minor modifications may produce markedly different experiences. In this short essay, I examine the pedagogical work of the theatre group Hospites Teatro, focusing in particular on how failure conditions are deconstructed and subverted in the design of their theatre games.
