Assignment: Choose someone you see on a fairly constant basis. Observe that person. Observe what that person does on a fairly regular basis. Then create a two minute scene in which you become that person and engage in that activity or behavior that person typically does. This is to be done without judgment. Do not choose someone that everyone knows. The person you choose can be a neighbor, a relative, a person who works at the convenience store at the corner in your neighborhood. We will start presenting on Monday, October 18th.
