Partner with someone who does not do what you do - think of ‘what you do’ choose one thing! And put it as a title on your notebook (i.e. choreographer) swap with partner and list all the things they experience / do. Swap back and read what is said. Short discussion about what is written with partner.

Feedback to whole group – “what was that like, is it true to life, are you surprised by anything?”

Hope the loft and the exercise leads to SEEING THE Familiar DIFFERENTLY.

Write a graffiti wall of conclusions / comment about this.

10.20 to 10.35pm

Go back down stairs sit in circle

Scary story – with another partner, tell story. Talk about the experience…. feedback

Do it again with different partner…talk about the experience

Longer feedback: were there tactics you used? How were you different with each partner? Did you learn something about the relationship / interaction with the each partner? Where were you in the story?

Hope to get to being able to see action of telling was more important and story content.
