Describe the events of the play up to this point. Choose a target, and ask him or her to place himself or herself in front of the room. Target will place that character in a position that will indicate his emotional closeness to or distance from the character. A student who is a character must speak in first person, be aware of information only to that point in the play, make no movement except as directed by the target or the teacher, and can only clarify or respond to the target or the teacher.
Target places each character, describing reasons for placement.
After everyone is placed, target should make sure each character is placed according to how he or she feels. Individual characters may speak to Hamlet about their own positions. They must speak in first person. Anyone who wants to speak must say how he or she feels first. Or, teacher can call on students to ask if they are happy with their placement.
