Moving in the Dark

The Prompt

Spend at least thirty minutes performing physical tasks with your eyes closed or blindfolded in a safe environment. Begin with simple tasks — walking across a familiar room, reaching for known objects — and progress to more complex ones: balancing on one foot, navigating an obstacle course, catching a gently tossed ball by sound alone. Pay close attention to the felt sense of your body in space. Where does certainty reside? Where does it fail? What compensatory strategies does your body adopt?

Completion Criteria

A reflective account of at least 400 words documenting at least four distinct tasks performed without vision, with observations about proprioceptive accuracy, compensatory strategies, and the subjective experience of relying on non-visual body awareness.
