Actions

Light the candle, this candle must be lit at all times and takes precedence over all other actions.
-
The only words you can say are the words contained in the feeling list
-
When people engage with you because they are curious or confused about what you are doing, it is okay to break character and engage with them in a dialogue. Talk to them as equals. However, this conversation then becomes part of the performance, let it stay with you a while after it is considered over.
-
The performance ends when the candle burns no more (choose the candle size with this in mind).

Public Performance #1: Performed as a Solo
-
Walk into a restaurant/bar/cafe and sit down at one of the tables, a smaller one because you are only 1 person.
-
When someone comes over tell them you would just like to sit and have a place to collect your thoughts.
-
If they ask you to leave, leave.
-
If not, stay until your thoughts are in order and then leave, making sure to thank them on the way out.
Public Performance #2: Performed as You Wish
- Bring a chair from home as well as a blanket or rug from home. (I use my rug)
- Wear a simple outfit.
