Actor One is the lead, Actor Two is the mirror. Encourage students to lock eyes and not look at each other's body. Begin the exercise by instructing Actor One to slowly move his or her right arm and hand in slow continuous movements. Actor Two's goal is to mirror exactly the movement of Actor One. Once the actors are moving in unison, have them switch and Actor Two becomes the leader and Actor One the mirror.
Advanced variations entail splitting the class into groups of four.
One pair of two in each group is the lead pair, the other pair is the mirror. The second pair then mirrors this activity. A super advanced variation is to split the entire class into two groups and have them stand at opposite ends of the room. Intense side-coaching is needed for this exercise to be successful.
