More Than Child's Play - Referencing #1

Looking forward, the Major Project requires the development of two characters with distinct characteristics.

One, an abandoned adolescent, will display physical attributes, proportion and ability in keeping with those of a young adult.

The other is a lost child, five to six years old and we'll examine how proportion, physicality and experience can produce a marked difference in movement and demeanour.

This first draw over is based on the video of a lost girl (portrayed by a child actor).
Her body language is closed and shy as she hunches her shoulders and buries her hands in her pockets. She is almost attempting to withdraw into her coat like a tortoise into its shell.

She sucks her fingers and swings her shoulders nervously. In an adult, this hand-over-mouth action may tell of a lie but here, in a young child, it could be a simple comfort, as with a dummy or thumb.
