Exercise A: Body English

From your first draft, choose an important moment and write it as a scene. This will be a “conversation” between two of your characters, but very few words should be said aloud. Work mostly with gesture and body language (also called body English). Remember that we often learn more about characters from stage business than from direct dialogue (e.g., one of the characters could be cutting down a tree, playing solitaire, fixing a car, etc.).
