Learners move freely around the space. The teacher will call out ‘person to person' on this command the learners must find a partner, the teacher can then ask the groups to connect certain bodyparts e.g ‘knee to ankle' One person would have to touch the other person ankle with their knee, and so on. If ‘Person to person' is called again learners have to find a new partner.Variation; Can call out a number and a certain body part, e.g ‘ 5 elbow to elbow' learners then have to form a group of five and connect all the group by their elbows.

An introductory activity by Augusto Boal for exploring the relationship of objects and people within the performance space. Materials required are an assortment of easily handled props, such as a small table, some chairs and a book. Invite one person to enter the space, arranging the objects to make a naturalistic or abstract scene in which one chair appears to be the most powerful object. Objects can be moved or put anywhere within the space.

This can be further developed with other students redesigning the space so that different objects seem more powerful. Next, one student enters the space and makes a frozen image, assuming a high status position. Other participants are invited to enter one by one and freeze in position, each trying to assume a higher status than everybody else in the stage picture. Discuss which strategies worked most effectively.
