In threes or fours, each person takes a starting emotion and holds a conversation in which only the numbers one to ten may be spoken, so the feeling has to carry entirely in the voice. During the conversation everyone gradually shifts emotion so that all of them finish in the same one. The audience listens with eyes closed and afterwards says what they heard.
