Milling Exercise

During the milling exercise, you have to walk around the room using your peripheral vision and collective responsibility to filling the space. Try your best not to walk in a circle as the could make the exercise seem less realistic and flow less. In order to make the most out of the space you are given, cut through the centre, move sideways and backwards with your body and create spatial relationships with your peers in the room to work together in unison with this exercise.

There are different energy levels in this exercise that you will explore whilst moving around the room:

Level 1 - moving very slowly, observe the space, not slow motion
Level 2 - low energy without emotion
Level 3 - normal pace
Level 4 - frantic/excited
Level 5 - explosion, chaotic

This exercise was created by Jacques Lecoq (December 15th 1921 - January 19th 1999)
