How to play chairs

Usually, there are a few ways to play chairs, but actually, it means only two basic approaches to playing anything: follow the rules or create your own set. Playing itself generally requires improvisation and following the flow that could not be easily recognisable. Also, it raises a question about your confidence in what you are doing and where you are going to be. What will you do if you decide to completely change your chair where you're sitting securely for a while? Sometimes it means, changing your success to another career path, switching from e.g. architecture or teaching in a school with a regular salary to the freelancer artist's life. Definitely, it feels scary. Probably because there is no rule on how to play such a game, you need to improvise and draw your own route to achieve what you want. At the same time your inner child is getting to play naturally and instinctively, just let her/him enjoy the process. A child can decide to sit on two chairs simultaneously, build a pyramid or tower, or destroy the first chair completely – just follow her/his ideas and see if it works for you. From a practical perspective, it means losing control for a moment even if such control is an illusion. Trust in your inner child could be a challenge as your outer adult knows how to do anything properly and socially approved. But are you sure if this is the proper way for you? Playing is a good method to deal with complicated and even painful things, just keep in mind where you want to go. The exhibition consists of nine different ways to play chairs, told stories that can inspire others to find their own way of playing.
