The World Technique

The World Technique is a method used in storytelling, acting, or character development that involves creating a detailed “world” or environment around a character. By understanding the setting, rules, and relationships within this world, a performer or writer can make their character's actions and decisions feel authentic and believable. It emphasizes immersing oneself in the context, allowing the character to respond naturally based on their environment, motivations, and circumstances. This approach helps bring depth and realism to a performance or narrative by ensuring the character’s behavior aligns seamlessly with the world they inhabit.
