A square marked on the floor. When you step into it you have to do something — a sound, a movement — and you may associate to whatever you happen to see. You are not allowed to have thought of anything in advance, and that is the point. What you do matters much less than daring to step in.

Hold with care
  • Stepping alone into a marked space with nothing prepared, watched by the group — small, and still the whole exposure for someone new
