Performance Art

The Wall
Ingredients: Two to six people
One Wall

1. Participants stand with backs against a wall, hands down by their sides, plams facing, but not touching the wall. Everyone's eyes should be closed.

2. With eyes closed a participant ducks down.

3. Everyone opens his or her eyes to see who has ducked. If only one person ducks, start over and if everyone ducks, start over .

4. When more than one participant ducks down the standing people (or person)clap(s)

5. The clapping can go on for an unlimited time until the people or person clapping decides its over.

I tried this performance with my brother(18) and nephew(9). I read the instructions to them step by step. It was interesting to see who would duck down and who wouldn't. My nephew was quick to duck down as soon as I read that instruction and
I told my brother to clap. He did so for about 90 seconds. I thought that was interesting because I didn't tell him when he should stop. The decision was completely up to him.
