This game is about teamwork and cooperation, how to look out for each other and how to negotiate moving as a team (unit/single organism.) Teams of 3 players connect to each other with small towels and explore the possibilities of dancing together. “Pods” has all players remain connected, dancing in a circle. “Pearls” refers to creating a string dance where the players dance and explore the space as a chain.
When the Caller calls for a “MIX-UP” the players leave their teams to find new team mates. Dancers find a new team by waving their towels in the air to signal the need for new partner(s).
You can use the TRIANGLE Grid to create the teams. If you choose to have the dancers stay in the Triangle-area, you will see more exploration of movements and shapes within the team. If you let the teams roam free between the MIX-UPs, you will observe more interaction between the different teams.
