Clowndance Syllabus
Game: Dancing
Take a walk in the space as we did in Walking. Make sure you're walking with enough energy to feel the air passing over your skin, and try to avoid walking in a circle or going into the 1000-yard zombie stare. Stay alive and awake.
I will play some music- when the music starts find a partner, you can connect with somebody via touch, proximity, or eye contact. The game is to dance to the music with your partner maintaining that contact. When the music stops (I won't play a whole track) you go straight back to walking in the space, in silence. This will repeat several times with several very different pieces of music.
