Participants use laboratory-esque cylinders to fill their individual ewers with water, then pour across the table into a receiving bowl and then pour from the receiving bowl back into the tall cylinder.

Instructions for each action are printed on a separate sheet of paper and placed on a music stand. A “director” displays the instructions, sheet by sheet.
