One-off Workshop: Second Chances

Climbing mountains, exploring frontiers, discovering scientific breakthroughs – we often need second, third or more chances to succeed. We learn from the failure, that's how humanity progresses. And in relationships, it's often the same.

Students need to create a character that relates credibly to another character in a situation where a second chance is needed, which either works or fails. There must be a learning outcome for every character, for example:

Man, middle aged, in and out of jobs, drinks a lot, addicted to gaming machines, feels inadequate ▸ relates to: Partner, spouse, girl/boyfriend, parent, son, daughter, sibling, friends, employers, neighbours.

Teenager, not great at school, prefers to watch movies all day, once good at sports, dislikes being ordered about ▸ relates to: parent(s), friends, teachers, school staff, siblings, grandparents, cousins, boy/girl the teenager likes but the feeling is not mutual.
