Moving Interaction
Mill around; whenever you meet someone's eyes or bump into them, interact — a sound, a gesture, a touch — then move on. Anyone offered a physical interaction they do not want gives a silent hands-to-heart 'namaste' and offers something else, or moves on. The manual demos it with animal noises, contact improvisation, hugs, leapfrog, fake battles and eye-gazing, and says it ends itself after about ten minutes.
- The namaste gesture is the whole consent mechanism and has to be taught and demonstrated before anyone moves
