Discovering your own script• Dreams, fantasies, fairy tales

and childhood stories can all give us clues to our script.

• While you do these exercises, let your imagination run fee.

• Don’t bother thinking what they are for or what they mean.

• Don’t censor or try to figure our what you are supposed to say.

• Just accept your first images and feelings that may come with them.

Exercise 5

See your life as a play• Imagine you are in a

theatre. You are waiting for a play to start. This play is your very own life story.

• What kind of play is this you are going to watch? Is it comedy, a tragedy? Is it high drama or a kitchen sink opera? Is it interesting or boring, heroic or matter of fact – or what?

Exercise 5

See your life as a play• Is the theatre full, half

empty or empty? Are the audience going to be enthralled or bored? Happy or sad? Are they going to applaud or walk out – or what?

• What is the title of this play of yours- your very own life story?

Exercise 5

See your life as a play• Curtain is opening and

this is the very first scene of your life.

• You were very young. What do you see around you? Who is there? Do you see faces and the expression in faces?

• What do you hear? Be aware of what do you feel.

Exercise 5

See your life as a play• Scene changes and now

you are a young child of three to six years old.

• Where are you? What can you see around you? Are there other people there? Who is there?

• Are they saying anything to you? Are you saying anything to them? Do you hear any other sounds?

Exercise 5

See your life as a play• Similarly, go through

teenage, adulthood, the present age and ten years in the future.

• The last scene of your play – your death scene. How old are you in this last scene?

• Share your experience to the group.
