Columbian Hypnosis

Description

Played in pairs. One player holds her open hand, fingers upward, about 2-3 inches from her partner`s face. She then starts moving her hand about slowly, while her partner tried to keep his face at exactly the same distance from her hand, like her hand is pulling of pushing his face about.

Switch sides and partners after a couple of minutes.

Notes

This is really also an exercise for the hypnotized, as she needs to ensure that her partner is able to follow her.

Variations

Use both hands.

Origin

Described in Augusto Boal `s Games for Actors and Non-actors .
