1. Look online for a protester's transcript explaining what they're protesting about.
2. Consider the following: What are they protesting about?
What social strata are they - what do you think their inclass are they in?
3. Create a social gesture that fits your character - do they play with their hair? Assert specific words in a certain way
This exercise is helpful to help characterise when devising a piece. You could apply this to any stereotype of a person in Brechtian Theatre or where you think it applies. If you're going to play a politician you could look at how the politician's gestus and develop it to suit your character.
