Imagination Exercise

Imagination

This exercise is useful as it is used to become one with your character and also tap into your imagination and how you perceive your character and what he/she it like.

During our exercise we lied down on the floor and closed our eyes. We then begin to picture the world of the play, where our scene takes place and all the objects surrounding that scene. I then began to picture my character (Hedda Gabler) and different aspects of her.

• Physicality - I picture Hedda as someone who is quite short and very petite and very beautiful. I also think she has long dark hair and is always dressed in a somewhat sophisticated fashion.
• Psychological - I think that her eyes are tired and old and shows the things she has seen and the maturity behind them furthermore i believe she would walk around with a stiffness with her as if she is trapped within herself and doesn't know how to escape.
• Pockets - In her pockets i think that Hedda would have a picture of her father (the General) and also the key to her guns case.

Due to the detail we were able to truly see ourselves as the character and what the character would be like if he/she were alive today further more other peoples descriptions also helped the characterization of our own personal characters.
