• Arrange four chairs facing the audience

• Choose speakers to sit in three of the chairs, one remains empty

• The speakers have a conversation with each other, the audience observes & does not interact with the speakers

• An audience member joins the conversation by sitting in the empty chair

• A speaker returns to the audience to maintain one empty chair
