Collective stalls ideas

At our group meet up we discussed some ideas for our stall, based on last week's class discussion of systems of exchange. Some of these don't quite fit (e.g. they give out physical objects) but the system isn't set in stone yet, and they can always be adapted and built off.
  • Exchange of information; customer tells the stall person a fact about themself in exchange for a related fact about the stall holder. Maybe like a game? Goes on until one person can't name a similar fact?
    • Kezia
  • Wind Up Actors; a play is performed by the stall holders, but they only move when a crank is turned. They act relative to the turning speed; if they crank is turned fast, they speed up, and if it's slow, they slow down. If the person stops cranking the actors pause in place, and resume from the same spot when someone else comes along.
    • Kezia
  • Achievement Game; like achievements in a digital game. A 'level' is set up and the player is given a list of achievement names. They have to guess what they mean and act out the achievement (e.g. Achievement name "hopscotch": player must play hopscotch to be awarded the achievement.)  The labour is the activity. The prize is satisfaction.
    • Kezia
  • People drawing each other at a table, then swap, to see how other people see them.
    • alternatively, working with words instead of drawing.
    • Kajal
  • Roasting stall; insult each other.

  • Hugging stall

  • Speed dating
  • Make a food box of your favourites from a selection of food, then leave it for someone else and take a box made by someone before you. Experience their tastes.
    • This might get expensive
    • Kezia
  • Choose your own adventure story - acted out by our group. At the end, you are given a judgement of your morality. Answers are time limited for snap decisions.
    • Michael
  • Murder mystery but with no ending; investigate, come to your own conclusion, leave. Discuss with others, but no 'true answer' will be given.
    • Kezia
  • Something with paper fortune tellers

  • Broken telephone; listen to a recording of someone whispering a phrase, then record yourself whispering what you think they said for the next person to listen to.

  • Something with fortune cookies
