Telling Each Other's Story with Caitlyn

After joining in one big zoom, we will go into break out rooms in
teams of two and one will tell the story of a time they faced
adversity while the other simply listens. Then we’ll switch and listen
while the other tells their story. After this, we will all return to the
main zoom room and tell the other person's story as if it was your
own. This exercise is meant to make the actor comfortable enough to put
their story into the voice of another person and for the actor to tell
a story so they can better embody a character.
