circles

[kerry napuk]

Hi

One of the great moments in Open Space is watching people enter the 
conference room and be taken back by seeing a circle of chairs without 
rows or tables.  It is that look of confusion and uncertainty which is 
priceless, especially when they try to figure out where to sit!

This configuration certainly marks a different event and gets people to 
anticipate something new.   The facilitator, of course, must ensure 
that the circle exists.  Venue people often have a problem dealing with 
circles.  You need to get there early, because you might find a 
semi-circle, a triangle, a square or a rectangle which must be 
reconfigured.  I once arrived at an event with no thing but folded 
chairs.

Cheers
