The Grid Walk

The Grid Walk
Needs a room

Walk the room filling every empty space. No circles, no following, no gaps.

The room walks continuously with one instruction β€” keep the space evenly filled β€” and then you start freezing them to see whether they managed it. It is the calmest energiser here and it does something unusual: a room that starts as a herd ends up moving like a single organism.
