Porphyria's Lover Chair Duet

We continued with our chair duets however this time, we had to change them a little bit so that they could tell part of the story, 'Porphyria's Lover'. We at first had to just remember our performances from a week ago. Once remembered, we had to add little changes to our performance to tell part of the story. Two lines to be exact.  The lines we chose were 'In one long yellow string I wound, three times her little throat around'. To incorporate this into the duet, my partner waved his hand above my head as I lay in his lap to represent him grabbing the hair. He also spoke the first line as he did so. Then I sat up, moved his hand of my shoulder to my other, then back and then back to his lap. This was to signify the wrapping of the hair three times. At the end of the lesson, he performed all at once and each got up, in our groups and partners, to watch the other groups perform. Then we would sit back down and continue our looped performance. The only problem was my partner couldn't focus again when we sat back down. He then made a small mistake and rather than just move on, he decided to chat to me about it. Then rather than keeping a straight face, he decided to keep smiling at me and not perform properly. Considering it is a chair duet, we both need to be focused and he really let me down.
