Each count lasts one second. Give the table an arm’s length.

Counts 1–3: Orbit

Walk in the same direction at different distances. Keep your attention on the empty chair you imagine across from you.

Counts 4–5: Notice

Let your gaze meet another performer. Keep the feet moving; allow the shoulders to arrive a moment later.

Counts 6–8: Make room

Widen the circle. Finish facing the tabletop. Hold the last count long enough to hear the room again.
