During today's lesson we looked at archetypes and practiced leading with different body parts. Using different body parts to lead with meant that certain stereotypical assumptions could be made. Leading with the head made me feel like I'd previously been a hard worker because it changed the rest of my posture and gave me a hunched back. Leading with my heart made me feel strong and empowered. I felt like I was a proud ruby player that wanted to be in the lime light at all times. Leading with the guts made me feel like I had a bear belly and was quit lazy or made me feel as though I was pregnant and had a bad back. Leading with the groin mad me feel like a pervert that wanted to thrust my prostate upon any young bird that passed.
Exploring the different archetypes helped when creating a backstory for individuals. This will be really helpful for character profiling in the future.
