Anthromorphism

This is another exercise that i found extremely helpful. In this exercise we had to become an animal that best suited our character, for example, i found that a startled, jumpy gazelle was quite fitting for Thea, where as Judge Brack was a vulture, and Hedda a snake. As we became these animals, we were literally being animals, but convincingly trying to remember their physicality's and attributing gestures. When being a gazelle, i was told that they do, do this identifiable thing where they quickly jerk their head from centre to side and so on, when in fear. I found that, when we slowly became a animalised version of our character, i could put a toned down version of this gesture in. It worked very well with Thea and makes her look more nervous and helpless, but also, like a gazelle, can run when they aren't happy, like Thea did when she ran away from her husband.
