At the begin­ning of each cycle, the four par­tic­i­pants posi­tion them­selves at the thresh­old of the entrance gate they were assigned, either A, B, C, and D. Each par­tic­i­pant (A, B, C, and D) has been giv­en a spe­cif­ic path and direc­tion to fol­low in each one of the four cycles. The par­tic­i­pants enter the ring, and the gates are closed. When the drum­ming begins the par­tic­i­pants begin to walk. The walk­ers must fol­low their indi­vid­u­al­ly pre­scribed path in con­tin­u­ous rep­e­ti­tions with­out paus­ing, until the drum­ming stops. The sus­pen­sion of the drum­ming marks the end of the cycle at which point the par­tic­i­pants exit the area. The dura­tion of each cycle is 5 min­utes long, fol­lowed by a 2‑minute break for rest and par­tic­i­pant sub­sti­tu­tions if they occur. The pat­tern is repeat­ed for all four cycles. 

The walk­ers should move at a com­fort­able pace, and in response to the rhythm of the drum.
Walk­ers need not strain to walk exact­ly on their giv­en line, as if on a tightrope, but rather to under­stand the line as the indi­ca­tion of their path. 
The activ­i­ty should take place in silence. No ver­bal com­mu­ni­ca­tion among the par­tic­i­pants is need­ed as each one has their path out­lined. The pre­dictable inter­sec­tions, as well as any unpre­dictable con­ges­tion or error, are left to the spon­ta­neous and intu­itive nego­ti­a­tion among the bod­ies involved. In the case of nec­es­sary devi­a­tions, the maneu­vers are estab­lished with first encounter. The gaze is free. Dis­po­si­tion is neutral.
