In pairs, one stands behind the other and begins by tapping lightly with the fingertips over the head, moving down to the shoulders and then over the back and out along the arms. The leader calls the swap.
Hold with care
- Hands-on work between participants: ask for consent explicitly rather than reading participation as agreement, and make stopping easy at any point
- Not neutral across bodies, histories or cultures; offer a role that involves no touching and do not ask why it was taken
- Begins with touch on the head, which is more loaded than the shoulders in many cultures and is worth flagging before starting
