Part 1 – Introduction

Step 1: In this exercise, each participant will share an entirely new identity for herself, which they will have prepared ahead of time – it must be completely made up and not based on a real person.

Step 2: Explain that in building this new identity, participants can exercise complete freedom: they can be women, or men, or even a place – whatever they come up with. The key here is to develop their new identity to the full extent possible – this means developing everything from their name and where they come from, to their work, family and even hobbies.
