How it Works

This is basically the opposite to Imitate : for the shopkeeper, rather thanimitating the customer's character, try and build a totally opposite character.

As a side coaching, point players to the following character treats:

  • voice (loud/soft/harsh ? intonation?)

  • Status (high/low?)

  • Age? Occupation?

  • Way the body moves? (take a look at Fast Food Laban for more on movement)

Note that this is also a looking/listening exercise for the shopkeeper!
