2. What is Body Biography? Is a time to draw and look at a character in depth. You select a character from the and create a physical body analysis of that character. You can use pictures, symbols, words and quotes to show that character’s purpose, motivation, thoughts, and feelings.

6. What is Body Biography? Each area/body part your character has must be filled in. I will give your group a sheet with this information on it! Specially…

7. What is Body Biography? Brain: what makes this person “tick”; think what motivates/drives this person to action. Eyes: visions, goals, hopes, and dreams; who/what did this person see for themselves in the future? Mouth: Three quotes by this person that define who they are in the play. Left hand: actions performed by this character that are important.

8. What is Body Biography? Right hand: same as left; you will need another example of an action performed by this character. Heart: who/what did this person love or value? This can be multiple people/things. “Achilles heel”: who/what was this person’s weakness? Roots: what/who influenced this person in the play?

9. Some Tips… Be creative—I know Joe has a lot of body parts missing! Use colors and be artistic! I will laminate the best ones to use as examples for next year. Trace in pencil before using crayons/ markers. YOU ONLY GET ONE SHEET! DON’T MESS UP! Do not use markers to color in large areas— use crayons—don’t waste my markers!
