someone elses shoes
Score / Notes
Ask someone to wear their shoes (if it feels appropriate you can offer your shoes for them to wear, but this is not imperative). If they say no, thank them and walk away. If they say yes, put the shoes on & discuss when & where the person got the shoes, what they have been worn through & other topics maybe relating to the persons relationship to their shoes. Also while wearing the shoes, try to assess how the person has transformed their shoes over time & how the shoes change your and possibly the other's perception, posture, way of being... Do anything that might help your understanding of this: walk, run, play, work, confront an authority, change environments, change your envelopment, change your appearance, eat, pee, poop, sweat, cry, smile... When satisfied or the person asks for their shoe's back, return the shoes. When you put your shoes back on be aware of how you have possibly transformed your shoes over time & how the shoes change your perception, posture, way of being...
