~~== Weekend 2 ==~~

My experiment involved groups of two participants who were asked to carry out certain actions, which sometimes came close to dares. Their goal for the experiment was to push the other person to their breaking point, usually through laughter.

~~Experiment began with working with~~ two participants who were ~~first~~ asked to ~~stay as calm and emotionless as possible~~. Their goal for the experiment was to push the other person to their breaking point, usually through laughter. It is a ~~telling indicator about us that people chose~~ the ~~same approach~~.

When I decided on the topic, breaking points, it was not necessarily to show weaknesses or opposite ends of the emotional spectrum. When we feel emotions, it is expressed through more than words. Our bodies also tell the story. Body language is so subtle yet unbelievably easy. I focused on the smallest details or changes of the body movement after I asked the participants to do a trust fall, catch the falling person, sit still, or not react to their partners' actions. Even when the signs are the smallest of signs, we still understand the silently expressed stories.
