The Exercises

Car & Driver 🚗

everyone partner up. one behind, one in front. person behind has hands on shoulders of one in front. Person in front close your eyes. Person in back leading the person in front with eyes closed. Speeding up, slowing down.
Crazy ride.
Make eye contact with other drivers and without saying a word, you switch cars. But cars must have one hand guiding them at all times. Make it as subtle as possible so person might not either know.
Rich conversation about relationships, communication, style, etc. Have them switch drivers multiple times. Is the car really the driver? Who’s in control here? How are you negotiating that?

Now without touch…

Give them simple code words. Driver give car code words. Left = cupcake. Right = beer. Start/Stop. Without touching partner, guide them with code words. We have common understanding, but when you try to guide someone around it gets complicated.
When they don’t have contact, stakes get higher.

Put on fun music (Michael Jackson, Madonna)

Freeze Dance. Mingle, when music is off, must find group of 3 and hold hands. Stem statement. My favorite thing about working about Kiva is…

When you’re complete, turn around and stand back-to-back.
