This Is indeed ... weird

This is an acting exercise for 21M.600, where students are paired up to train their voice, which can come from different parts of the body. I think the voice is supposed to come from the stomach for this exercise..

I think the girl (in black at extreme left) who is directin' all this is trying to make something out — probably a new game.

Or something a bit more complicated — brain and cognitive sc. stuff — you select people at random and as they try to make a good show together (she yells!) just map their brains. Shows how quickly two brains accomodate within a system, recognise their environment and react.
I realise that it's not simple. It's not like solving a problem together. How do you know when the other person is gonna start? It's more than just senses. It's a subtle interplay of perception, judgment, and reasoning. It's cognitive.

Other possibilities — stress remover, effect of obesity on self control, testing shoes, MIT people can be really crazy!

reCAPTCHA: behead studio (possible!) :D

Interesting. I would love to partake in such activities next year if I could. A rousing game on the field would be a nice way to use my loquacious personality in a more informal setting.

@Jerem '14(?) Same here, except for me it would be more to allow my normally-contained-in-public-but-occasionally-loud-and-rambunctious personality some running room smile Well, we'll know soon, right?

I think my English class is getting tired of me putting the countdown on random bits of the whiteboard...heeheehee...

lol, ReCaptcha: voucher April

Forgot to make my other comment:

It's like a scene from some serene and perfect quirky-intellectual's childhood! :D

Aaaah, that's me!!! Intro to Acting ROCKS!

Just to clarify Ham's comment, 21M.600 is Intro to Acting. And yes, this is an exercise from that class.
