How can I intimidate, embarrass, and put someone in an awkard position?

I am studying performance, and one of my performance group ideas is to perform something on identity, and surveillance.

Every week we have been coming up with lots of good ideas... However, we need to make the audience feel uneasy, but obviously not in a life threatening way and not to cause any long term damages to the audience!

After all it is just a performance. - But how can I intimidate, embarrass, and put people in a awkward position related to identity and surveillance?

(In my group is 4 performers, myself and three girls)

Racism jokes with a black person in your group.

The people in my performance are all white. However, I do not think racism would go down well

Do your own work

At a guess, play on common insecurities.

I am, I am not asking everyone to script, direct and act in my performance, I just need to further my ideas!

That is a good idea, maybe survey common insecurities, then base it around that.

Have you definitely mastered being a tree at this point?. Because if you've got one very good tree actor, you could hide behind them.

All 4 of us can perfectly!
