Physical Archetypes Exercise


Thought about different physical archetypes, their physicality and their personality traits. Analysed positives and negatives about them. Thought about their voice, eyeline and if they would want to interact with others. I believe we were made to do this exercise to make us think about how our characters may have many different levels to them in different scenes and we could think about using some of the archetypes in our performance to give more depth to our characters so that we can fully understand them and enhance the performance. For example, all the lines we were given to decide what archetype would say them were from Puck. Puck is usually seen as a Trickster archetype but some of the lines we were given, such as "Pretty soul" relates to the carer archetype.
