back among the living

After nearly a week of lying around moaning, celebrated a return to health by seeing Black Label Movement's Wreck at the Southern Theater on Friday. A dance piece "set inside the last watertight compartment of a recently sunk ore boat resting at the bottom of Lake Superior," it was an amazing ride. Human bodies conveying mechanical objects and forces of nature while still always being human bodies, fragile human spirits. Reminded both me and Alan of that time we nearly drowned in that riptide in CA. Reminded me how much I miss the ocean. Every time I dare think I've seen enough on stage, I'm again amazed at the breadth and depth of what these bodies we have can convey.
