In the background there is some medium speed rythm music, and we play in pairs. One person of the pair is starting to move or dance led by the music. The other person standing as close as possible tries to use the „same space” like the dancer without touching each other. They can use arms and legs or other parts of the body to fill in the space used by the dancer.

After playing we discuss in the whole group what we have experienced.

This game helps to get reflections on one another and get new information about how much we can share possibilities.

It needs quite a persistent attention and good physical endurance.
