The Character Study Game

Reconsruction

From: The Power Manual

$0.50

The Character Study game is from the field of theater. Actors play it to learn how to understand their character. The goal for the actor is to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances. Good acting requires holding three goals simultaneously: getting and staying in touch with the feelings in the moment, being willing to take risks, and pursuing an underlying objective using as many tactics as possible or necessary. The purpose of this game is to understand the relationships between the signs of patterns of domination.
