Transform yourself! In literature, the technique of "personification" gives inanimate objects, plants, and animals human-like characteristics. To add drama to your storytelling, you can use ASL techniques to "become" various objects. Personification allows performers to "get inside" things and show-rather than tell-what's going on. Bring objects alive as you sign!
