Gesture & Name

The one thing we can all say is our name. Combine saying your name
with a gesture. Do it in a circle: each person makes a gesture while
saying his or her name.

Now play with this idea. Say your name stressing the syllables in
non-familiar ways. Stretch out some syllables, compress others while
you make a gesture using your entire body. Do it in a circle.

Moving while doing something as familiar as your name, when said in an unfamiliar, exaggerated way allows the subconscious to take over and the pulse then takes you to the unexpected.

May the pulse be with you!
