Exercises

Create 20 cards, each one listing a way to make physical contact with a spect. Play a scene, periodically pulling a random card, and justify making contact in that way.

Exercises

Sitting comfortably on the floor, Player A holds Player B as one would hold a small child in their arms. Find the common breath and release into each other’s bodies. Player A gently rocks and strokes Player B, while singing an improvised gibberish lullaby. Finish in silence. Trade roles.

Exercises

Two players stand two arm’s length away from each other and look into each other’s eyes for one minute. Without breaking eye contact, they move to one arm’s length away for one minute. Then they move toe-to-toe, while still looking into each other’s eyes for another minute. Finally they move to where their noses touch, and stay there for one minute.

Exercises
