DIALOGUE: You are free to add some lines in here and there as you see fit, but please keep these moments mostly non-verbal.

SCENE 1: BUS: (NO HAT IN THIS SCENE):
You are on a school mountaineering trip, riding the bus on the way to the mountain. It is 2am and you are tired but optimistic. Show us :15-30 of you sitting on the bus looking out the window. The weather looks concerning. One of your friend cracks a light joke, you smile and laugh with them for a moment before you return to looking out the window.
SCENE 2: SNOW CAVE: (WEAR A BEANIE FOR THIS SCENE)
The storm has gotten a lot worse, you and your classmates/teachers have huddled tightly together in a snow cave to escape the elements and try to stay warm. You are exhausted, terrified and freezing, and in shock.
Show us around :30 of you sitting in this snow cave, make sure to not overdue the "freezing" element, you are not uncontrollably shaking. You have pulled yourself into a ball and most of this is seen in your face and small movements.
SCENE 3: TRAPPED OUTSIDE: (WEAR A BEANIE FOR THIS SCENE)
You went out of the snow cave to use the bathroom but it iced over while you were outside and you can't get back in. It is -20 degrees and the winds are around 100mph. You are yelling to your fellow students for help and trying to claw your way back into the cave. Eventually you give up and decide to try to head down the mountain.
