protest at sub-zero

Pablo and I performed yesterday at an outdoor rally / antiwar protest for International Human Rights Day. We both flubbed our words - and we both blamed the cold :-) It was a little below zero. From the moment we got out of the car to the moment we got back in, I danced around like a hyperactive 6 year old; I had to keep moving to keep warm. It was also weird to perform with 10 extra pounds of clothing on, but the audience was very appreciaative.

I was followed in the lineup by a company of dancers,Danza Mexica Cuauhtemoc, who did their thing bare-chested, bare-armed, bare-legged, in the snow. And they were amazing - I was in awe of them. Dancers do with their bodies what I try to do with my words.
