Meditative Walk as character

Students walk about on the darkened stage, imagining walking down the street as their character as a child, smelling the aromas, the odors of the big city street, the odors of the small town, the trails of the wilderness – where ever the character grew up. As they walk, the students as their character are hearing the sounds of their home – the big city, the village, the farm, the wilderness – as they walk as children. The students, as they walk, feel the air on their faces – the fetid heat of a crowded slum in India, or the cold of a New York winter, or the fragrant cooling breeze of a forest.

Now they are older – teenagers – and as they walk about they hear, see, smell, feel, even taste their surroundings. Perhaps they have moved away to go to college, to find work, to marry. What do they see, smell, touch, feel, taste as they move through the world?

Now they are in their twenties, moving through the world – with successes and the baggage of losses, of defeat.  They might have families, and their families may be a source of joy, comfort, solace, security, or a source of pain, loss, conflict, or confinement.

The students move through the years and spaces as their characters.

Now, the students sit down and write their impressions, thoughts, feelings, images, words, snippets of phrases, stories, etc.
