thanks!

they're performing an aura dousing, which basically consists of this lady coming at you with a couple coat hangers and when they cross she marks this point as being the distance of your aura, which she measures with a ruler. she scatters various niagara falls souvenirs around the perimeter of your aura. they use a special calculating device to figure out what the note of your aura is, an opera singer then circles you constantly singing that note. after this they use the coat hangers again, usually after having experienced an aura dousing ones aura perimeter changes. you are also asked if you see any certain colors during the dousing. i saw peachy tones and i believe colin saw chartreuse. in the end they print up a little receipt with your aura dousing info on it.

in reality this was a sort of performance piece that one of my art professors, stephanie rothenburg, did. unfortunately i don't really know much more about it except for what i saw.
