Create no hierarchy of audience and performers. Elimination of performance and heavily motivated prompts. Elimination of timeline concept. If we're all isolated together, are we isolated? Can there be isolation without sense of self, you need an 'I'. It is fine for participants to not find it relevant How to Subtly Restrict Photography? and leave At the end of the day, To have a compartment, where there is an instruction/ ritual to place your belongings such as phone, shoes, earrings, etc. interpretations vary among the participants and it is OK.
