Challenge: create and perform an entirely original ritual.

Details: Each proposal scene must contain the follow 5 elements:

1. Something must be filled.
2. Something must be emptied.
3. Something must disappear.
4. Something must grow.
5. Something that is not a human must appear to move on its own.

Also, consider this:

The purposes of rituals are varied; they include compliance with religious obligations or ideals, satisfaction of spiritual or emotional needs of the practitioners, strengthening of social bonds, social and moral education, demonstration of respect or submission, stating one’s affiliation, obtaining social acceptance or approval for some event — or, sometimes, just for the pleasure of the ritual itself.

Specifics:

-Proposal scenes should be roughly 5 minutes long.

-Aim to spend about 4 hours creating and staging the scene.
