A Solo Improv Scene Inspired by the Six of Arrows (Babylonian Tarot)

I originally posted this to Instagram before I realized that normal landscape videos and are frowned upon there.

This is an improv exercise I came up with to practice between classes. I draw a tarot card and then perform a short scene based on the card. The card for this one is the 6 of Arrows from the Babylonian Tarot. I played an old-timey doctor who is attempting to treat a patient who presented with an arrow to their shoulder. (I literally just acted out the scene pictured on the card. I need to get better at “A to C” thinking).

It’s not great acting by any means, but I really like how I was able to combine three of my biggest interests: Mesopotamian religion, tarot, and improv!
