Milling, Fish Exercise and Waking Up For The First Time

Milling
A man named Jacque Lecoq invented a scale of different energy levels ranging from 1 to 7, 1 being little movement in every part of the body and 7 being fast movement in all parts of the body. When playing this game you have a collective responsibility to fill the space. You need to use your peripheral vision to help you do this. You can't walk in circles, which is something we should apply to any activity we do that involves moving. This means you should go through the centre of the room and to the far corners. Plus don't just walk forwards, walk backwards and sideways. Allow spacial relationships to happen. Be aware of one person in the room and take in where and how they move. Move with them, allowing them space, yet always being aware. We didn't use all 7 energy levels, we shortened it to 5:
1- very slow yet not slow motion
2- depressed movement however don't look depressed
3- normal pace
4- frantic movement
5- organised chaos

Fish Exercise
When playing this you stand in a group and within this group there is a leader. The leader will move and the rest of the group will follow. However, when standing as a group you will have rows of people and depending on the position of the leader and yourself, you won't always be able to see the leader and therefore won't be able to see the movements that you are meant to copy. This means you need to rely on the rest of the people in the group to show you what you need to do. You do this by using your peripheral vision. When you turn and change position you can also change the leader. This means either the leader is re- allocated or a person takes on the role of leader.

Waking Up For The First Time
For this game you need to imagine that you have never seen the light of day before, that you are seeing your surroundings for the first time. This means that you won't know where you are, who you're with or what to do with yourself. This means that you need to be shocked but very controlled at the same time; you wouldn't necessarily know how to move. You need to look, feel and experiment.
