Verfrmdungseffekt – Strange making, distancing, defamiliarisation
Warm up - "Moody Objects"
Participants create inanimate objects physically then give these an attitude:
Angry - motorbike
Happy - bed
Depressed - chest of draws
Sad - chair
Proud - chair
When viewed by an audience why are these objects strange?
What is the effect on the audience?
Making a gesture strange
Simple Character creation
Building a character "outside in". Using opposing points of tension create simple characters.
The old man
The pregnant woman
The 'fat cat'
By using the clues of what we can 'see' of the character what can we tell about them and their social context.
What job might they have/had?
Have they have had and easy or hard life? Why?
