I really wish there were mass outdoor celebrations on every warm sunny day. If I could make a career of dancing in the grass, I would do it.
I'm in a Contact Impovisation class this semester. We do a bunch of crazy stuff....if you've never heard of it, the basic principle revolves around two or more people dancing together while never losing physical contact. In our class, this also often involves some cool-looking flips and acrobatic balances and such. Our professor decided we should have class outside at the big Earth Day festival/celebration in the park on campus. There were tons of people and several band playing live music, and we just added to the scene by having our dance class right out there in the middle of things!
We quickly drew a small crowd of friends, fascinated onlookers, and picture-takers, including a TV news camera and a newspaper reporter (who knows, maybe I was on TV again). Occasionally a bystander would even jump in and try to partcipate in what we were doing. We just had a blast dancing around out in the grass and sun!
