From Chapter 7: Dance
Dance Report
in the old east
there was a dance in which young girls
at the age of 12 of 13 wore special
intoxicating flowers inducing them to sleep
while standing. the girls went on
standing for hours while people
watched and appreciated the
delicate swaying of the
bodies.

From Chapter 6: Film
FILM SCRIPT 5
Ask the audience the following:
1) not to look at Rock Hudson but only Doris Day.
2) not to look at any round objects but only square
and angled objects -- if you look at a round object
watch it until it becomes square and angled.
3) not to look at blue but only red -- if blue comes
out close eyes or do something so you do not see,
if you saw it, then make believe that you have not seen
it, or punish yourself.
-- from SIX FILM SCRIPTS BY YOKO ONO, Tokyo,
June 1964
