In this workshop we will focus on playful techniques to craft a persona, leaving behind any expectations of producing concrete results or scenarios. We will start working with our own bodies, then integrate the objects, architecture and others around us. For many, one obstacle to role play is “performance anxiety”, the feeling that one will not have enough ideas or freeze up in the middle of everything. Freeing ourselves from this expectation is what allows us to be creative and have fun while getting in touch with still unknown sides of ourselves.
