🚡The Door

Setup and Launch

Position the group at the right or left edge of the stage space — this is the "wall" with an imaginary door. Explain that each person acts as they do at home: where the keys are kept, how many locks there are, which direction the door opens, how it closes, and where the keys are put away. Everyone else watches closely so they can reproduce what they see with precision.

How It Works

1. First participant. Stands with their back to the chosen "wall," their home door in front of them. They open it in their usual way, enter, and close it. Then they stop.

2. Second participant. Repeats all of the first person's actions as precisely as possible (takes keys from the same spot, works with the same number of locks, same direction of opening, same way of closing, puts the keys back in the same place). Then adds their own next habitual step after closing the door (e.g., where they hang their coat, where the mirror is, how they take off their shoes).

3. Third and onward around the circle. Each subsequent participant first reproduces all previous sequences of actions in the original order, then adds their own new everyday fragment of space.

4. Conclusion. The exercise continues until the circle is complete. The last participant repeats the entire chain and adds a finishing touch, forming a composite space made up of many "homes."
