Players line up; the first walks a circuit of the room and the second follows, moving as they move. After a few rounds the leader peels off to the back and the next pair takes over. The source is firm that people should walk as themselves rather than invent a silly walk — the study is of how someone actually moves.
Hold with care
- Being closely imitated in front of the group can read as mockery even when it is not meant that way; the source's instruction to walk normally is what keeps it on the right side of that line
