Exercises
Players scatter randomly around the space. All close their eyes. Without speaking, players attempt to line themselves up in order of height.
Exercises
One player has eyes closed, the other has eyes open. The blind player takes the arm of the sighted player. Without speaking, the pair walk around the space. The blind player sets the pace and the sighted player guides the route. As comfort is built, the blind player may speed up the rate of travel.
Exercises
Take a deep breath, then exhale and brush your hands across parts of your body. Work from the head down to the feet. Become aware of all parts of the body while releasing tension through the breath.
Exercises
Facing a partner, players slap their legs and say "boom," then point in a direction (either up, down, left, or right) and say, "chhh." This pattern repeats until both players point in the same direction. At that point, they slap their legs on the next "boom," then point at each other and say "woo!" The players return to the boom-chhh pattern until they point in the same direction, which is again followed by a boom-woo sequence.
Exercises
Breathe in for five seconds. Hold for five seconds. Exhale for five seconds. Hold again for five seconds. During each five-second count, draw one side of a box in the air. Repeat the process for one minute.
Exercises
Players mingle and find a partner. Player A tells Player B how to respond—either by accepting, blocking, following, resisting, building, or amplifying. Then Player A makes an offer and Player B responds as instructed. The players trade roles and the process is repeated. After that, the players go find new partners and repeat the process.
Exercises
Players stand in a circle. All turn to the right, facing the back of the person in front of them. Each player puts feet together and takes hold of the hips of the person in front of them. On the count of three, everyone sits on the lap of the person behind them. Then they remove their hands from the hips of the person in front of them. When ready, everyone stands on the count of three.
