What is hot-seating?
Hot-seating involves having a dialogue with a character (historical figure or someone from a specific era). The character steps out of the drama for a while, usually sits in an appointed chair (the hot-seat) and is open to questioning by the audience or students. The character must answer in role.

You do not have use a chair as a hot-seat. You can just freeze or recreate a key moment in the drama and ‘hot-seat’ a character in situ.
