Ways of working

Your client sets out their family, one figure at a time.

A room for one-to-one family work opens ready: figures for women, men and children, the names this work uses, and a client who can place and move from the first minute.

A LineAstra board in a forest world with six wooden figures named Father, Mother, Me, Brother, Grandmother and Grandfather

A session, step by step

  1. The whole board, with the six figures standing in two groups
    1

    Your client places the family

    They pick a figure for each person and put it where it belongs for them. You see every move as it happens.

  2. Three of the figures up close, one with its arms open

    Each figure shows how it stands

    Which way it faces, how near it is, a gesture, a feeling. You both see each one change.

  3. The same figures seen from lower down

    Look from any side

    Turn and tilt the view, or step into a figure to see what it sees.

What this way of working sets up

  • Names offered

    Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, Grandmother, Grandfather, Partner, Child and The client. Your client can type any other name.

  • Your client can

    Add, move and turn figures, and see through a figure's eyes.
