Notes:

Another viewpoint

The idea here is to see the scene through another's eyes, to feel it as the other person in the scene would. Not to experience it as you would if in their location, but to see it and feel it entirely as they would. It's OK if you can't do this perfectly — just do the best you can.

Move the other character front and centre

Move the items on the stage around so you can put your head above the object representing the character you are now inhabiting, seeing the scene as they would rather than as you would. As usual, breathe life into the scene in front of you.

Background

It is possible to experience events that happened to you from the viewpoints of the other people in those events: their thoughts, feelings and physical sensations. You can do this one person at a time, or in groups. You can even do it from the viewpoint of other creatures or beings or inanimate objects if it seems relevant to you.

Add to elements/characters

After you've run through the scene, especially with the focus on different aspects, new things often come to view that you didn't think of before. That's fine. If they seem important, just create something appropriate and add it to the stage. Remember to add the labels so you don't forget what the things are if it is not obvious.
