**Question 1:** Write four paragraphs defining the term 'bodystorming'. (4 paragraphs)

//Bodystorming is the next level to brainstorming. In brainstorming, the team jots down all ideas about a certain issue or topic and come up with the best possible idea whereas in bodystorming, the team plays out the ideas to bring the best changes possible forward. // //Bodystorming, according to // //Anne Fairbrother “is a participatory method for demonstrating or developing ideas in a physical setting.” Members in the team would explore ideas and interact physically with the use of props. Space and Culture has a different definition of what bodystorming is. According to them, “bodystorming is the transformation of abstract ideas and concepts into physical experiences.” This approach is seen as ‘fun and tactile’ because it allows people to explore different qualities that an idea may have when applied in a physical setting.// //Bodystorming is effective because it does more than what brainstorming does. It allows people to act out the idea in different context, giving the idea a physical form. It reveals how the relationship between people, locations, and things affect ideas. Bodystorming works best after research has been done so that it can help test out the ideas. It’s effective to bodystorm after research because it allows you to understand the issue better. // // Bodystorming experiences can be very helpful in testing out assumptions about ideas. It helps people learn more about the way in which people interact with ideas. It also enables people to have fun and allows people to ‘brainstorm’ in a different manner that would bring more ideas to the table // // Since bodystorming allows you to demonstrate your ideas like a story, the people you are showing it to get a good idea on what the idea and concept you are trying to show them and can be easily persuaded. Bodystorming is a very effective method to use on potential clients since they want to see how the idea or concept plays out visually rather than jotted down on paper. //
