Taking each other’s voices

John Cage, in Musicage, p 208, speaks of asking the flautist to go against grain and play “almost imperceptibly” while asking the pianist to play a full range of volumes. There was another group of musicians who experimented with trading instruments—and found new ways to have their musical conversation. Might we do something similar in the middle of a conversation? Not only taking each other’s arguments. Say physical poses (tableaux?), or vocal pitch and rhythm?
