Who Am I?

Exercise Intermediate 20 min 3–15

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.
