Everyone takes their own space in the room, the lights go out, soft music plays, and people move however they like. The sheet's reasoning is the point: with the lights fully off nobody feels looked at, which is what lets people move freely.
Hold with care
- Moving in a fully dark room — the sheet suggests standing near a wall for orientation, and the floor needs to be clear
- Darkness removes the group's ability to see each other, which is protective for self-consciousness and unhelpful for anything else that might happen
