Writing in role is writing from a character’s perspective. It doesn’t really matter what form it takes - it could be a diary entry or a descriptive piece - what matters is producing material. By writing continuously for two or three minutes, ideas or prose can be developed without overthinking. Writing can then be swapped with other performers for feedback and to discuss different interpretations. This can be done when writing characters or initially devising ideas.

As well as dialogue, it can be useful to write questions to be answered by characters, about them or the situation they are in. By finding solutions to the questions posed by others, characters can be developed and depth added to them. It is important not to overthink the writing, questions or answers - some parts will be useful and others less so. Elements of the work produced can be used to create a monologue or some narration to the audience.

It is important to experiment to create a well-rounded character.
