Meeting people in your head - 10 min exercise

Take an old magazine, colour supplement, mail order catalogue – anything that has pictures of people, and that you are happy to rip apart.

Tear or cut out pictures of six people – as varied a group as you can find. Turn them face down, or put them in a box, saucepan, bag – any container. Then with your eyes shut, pick out two bits of paper. Have a good look at them. You now have 10 minutes to get to know the first few facts about them:
- What is their relationship?
- What are their names?
- What language(s) do they speak?
- Where were they born?
- Where do they live now?

If you're not already fascinated by them, and finding that you know them intimately, you can now spend as long as you like watching them. Don't forget to write down what you learn...
- What binds them together or keeps them apart?
- What will happen to them tomorrow?
