Assignment: Choose a person who you see on a fairly regular basis and then “become” that person for a few minutes (two to three minutes). Notice how the person walks, where and how s/he carries his/her weight, where the person carries her/his tension? Notice the person’s posture; how does the way the person carries himself/herself reveals how the person feels about the world and about his/her place in it? Try to see the world through your character’s eyes. No judgments.

We will begin this assignment today and continue on Monday.
