Description
This is can be used as a Trust exercise, as well as in performance.2 players perform a slow dance together; each with their head on the other`s shoulder. Hence they are not looking at each other. While dancing they perform a 2-3 minute scene.
This gives for great listening practice, since players aren`t looking at their partners. If is also good for overcoming (physical) awkwardness between partners that are not familiar. And it is a great exercise for physical work in the dance, as in physical expression of the character`s feelings.
Variations
Drop the dance, and have players do a scene sitting back-to-back. In the scene the characters need not be static; they may be walking, running, performinc any activity; it's just the players who are sitting down. Also known as Also known as Back to Back..
