Speedfighting
2015
Sawtooth Artist Run Initiative
Long after lust and infatuation have faded, one thing still remains in any relationship: fighting. Speedfighting turns on its head the usual get-to-know-you dating ritual; by asking the participants to try out not how well they get on with the other person, but how well they can argue with them. Ten people will be mixed and matched, and asked to have an argument over such questions as “Is it ever acceptable to lie?” and “What is cheating?” Speedfighting also teaches participants how to handle confrontation in a controlled setting, with benefits for their personal and professional relationships.
