SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - CONSCIOUS ROLE PLAYING

We are fascinated by actors - people who step out of their own skins and into the bodies of others to create an illusion.

We love the concept of the 'Cloak of Invisibility' of wizards and the dark magic of 'shape-shifters'.

Of course we put all of this into the realm of fantasy.

And yet…


DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS                           
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

PLAYING ROLES.
Here's a fun experiment to try:

Next time you walk into a room full of strangers, take a moment to imagine you are royalty. 
Hold your body in a regal posture - head high, presence large. 
Now take a nice deep breath and enter the room
What do you feel?
What do you notice?
How do others seem to react to you?

Next, on a similar occasion, imagine you are covered by a cloak of invisibility.
Take a moment to really get into this, feeling yourself disappear from the view of others.
Breathe deeply.
Now move forward and enter the room
What do you notice/
How do you feel?
How do you perceive others reacting to you?
