This tool focuses on breaking down the characters’ intentions into one of two simple physical actions: Pushing or Pulling.
This tool requires you to provide learners with a Hula-Hoop and ask them to grip it with both hands.
Learners’ lines must then be read to them, broken down into manageable chunks by the punctuation.
Learners should be instructed to consider whether their character is trying to push something or someone away or pull something or someone in.
They are then to physicalise the action by pushing or pulling on the hula-hoop whilst repeating their lines.
