Life, Love, and Everything In Between

i was reminded of something yesterday

I was riding the train,and it was very full, this is mostly because the transit workers have decieded to work to rule. This sucks for everyone but transit workers, but i guess that's the point, and i digress... So the train was packed, to the point where i could not really hold anything, and i didn't need too, i felt like a like a sardine, if there was a shift on the train, then everyone moved as one, it was like a wave. So here is what it reminded me of. Back when i did Artstrek, which is basically drama camp, we were studying Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. At one point in the play one of the characters is thrown over board, actually thinking back on it, it was two characters, but that doesn't matter. So the characters are thrown over board. We then did a workshop in which we had to partner up with someone and one person was the ocean and one was the character, Olivia. We then had to act out the scene in which the ocean carries Olivia. The catch was that there was to be no talking, no looking around, and no one person could lead the scene. So there i was lead only by feeling moving with my partner, up and down, side to side. It was very erotic, without the sex. You fall into this repetitious tempo and movement. If you ever have the opportunity to do it, i would highly recommend it.
