Today we recapped our character's super-objectives, also by performing a mime to go with what it is. For example I walked around the circle with my hand by my ear making a 'listen' gesture to show I want to be heard. We then did an improvisation-style game where someone would go into the centre of the circle and mime an activity. However, they would say they were acting out something completely irrelevant. This new activity would then be what the next person in the circle would do, and so on.
Next, we did the 'hot seating' activity where each of us would become our characters and sit on a chair. Other people would then question you as your character asking personal details which you have to decide then and there about your character. This helps us gain a better understanding about our disposition.
Lastly, we were again grouped and were given a random scenario. We used our new character information to apply this to the situation. Our invitation was that 'Jack's Mother' was going on an organised date from a dating agency. Myself, the Narrator was also the head worker for the agency. We created a short story line where Jack curiously follows his mum off into the village on a Saturday night, as she enters a building based around matchmaking. She then encounters her very awkward date.
