Summary

We had our first DanceExperiment with kids and for the first time, we got our dancing on video! It's really exciting to get the momentum going behind DanceLabs in Thailand - these Thai kids are already looking forward to our next one!

Intention

• let go of your sense of leadership
• reflect upon who they're being in life
• play with others
• experience life as a co-creative act
• be left in a different space free to dance with others

Outcome

• video

Guidelines

• music is optional
• if you choose to do this alone with your partner (or child), reflect with each other, time is typically a non-issue - play til you wanna do something else :)
• duration: 10 min
• Thai: ใครๆก็เป็นผู้นำได้

Steps

1. ask everyone to find a partner
   • boy/girl or same sex - it depends on your context. in general it doesn't matter
2. have each pair choose an A or B
3. ask A to be the leader, B to be the follower
4. allow everyone to move and dance for 1 minute
   • ask people to notice what it is to be a leader or a follower (ie. what is it like for you?) people need not answer just have them consider as they are doing the exercise
5. ask everyone to stop
6. ask B to be the leader, A to be the follower
7. repeat the exercise for 1 minute and ask people:
   • what is it like to be on the other side?
   • have you given up being a leader?
   • are you being with your partner?
   • what is it like to follow?
8. ask everyone to stop
9. declare "there is no leader"
10. repeat the exercise for another minute and see what happens!
    • allow enough time for people to get co-creation.
    • go up to pairs and work with them directly if it appears like one is dominating the other.
    • support people having fun with it - surprises are abound!

Completion

1. PartnerShare works great
2. acknowledge and thank everyone for playing!
