This exercise was really helpful in looking at the different character and physical archetypes that come from focusing your energy in one particular body part - it also conjures the different emotions and qualities that character may posses. This is a good place to start when looking at the basics of physicality to develop a character as the physicality is driven by the emotions and characteristics behind it, therefore giving it an element of emotional truth rather than interesting physicality for the sake of it. By going through the different stages, I was able to explore a range of possible different characters as well as look at the different focuses of energy that could apply to my common ground character. I feel like Su-Lin is a possible mix between a heart and head person because she's extremely curious and constantly asking questions about her surroundings and the people in them yet everything she does is in a loving way. She's young and playful, the questions she asks or the things she says are never meant in a vindictive or negative way, she simply wants answers. She's sincere yet intelligent and very imaginative. By looking at both the head and heart's qualities I am able to inform myself on how I may develop Su-Lin's future physicality as well as explore the different qualities and characteristics she may posses because of it.
