Description
Players explore character through physical and vocal transformation, discovering who they are through action rather than mental planning.
Setup Requirements
Performance space with chairs or props
Point of Concentration
Discovering character through physical exploration
Side Coaching
How does this person walk? What's their relationship to the space? Let the body inform the character.
Points of Observation
Are players creating from the outside-in? Is the character emerging naturally or being forced?
Evaluation
What did you discover about your character? How did physical choices affect your thinking and speaking?
Examples
Enter the space as 'someone' - let age, profession, mood emerge through movement and interaction with the environment.
