The Encyclopedia of Interactive Performance

A scene is played in which Player A tries to activate Player B. Player B begins by not engaging, simulating unconscious offers that a spect might make. Player A justifies Player B’s unconscious offers within the context of the scene.

Variations

Justifying resistance – Player B actively resists engagement. Player A justifies why the resistance is right.

Notes

• Player A treats Player B’s behavior as correct.
• Player B’s non-engagement is just the starting point. If Player B feels moved to engage, they should do so.
