Players choose an animal to become. They move about the room, embodying the animal with their bodies, voices, and attitudes. They begin as 100% animal. After fully inhabiting the animal, players become 80% animal, and 20% human. They move around in this state for a while. Then they become 60% animal and 40% human. The process continues until the players are 100% human, while still embodying the essence of the animal.

Notes

• Get outside input on what looks like a real human. Often, maintaining a percentage of the animal can still play as a believable human being.
• Pay attention to relationships with others. Who is predator and who is prey?
