May 5: Walk This Way!

Pure performative joy! The walkway is not a venue for an audience to gather - so there was not much sharing with the junta beyond informing the few curious about what we were doing. What was most amazing, though, was that so few were curious! It was almost as though we were invisible. The feeling was mutual -- in that for many of us, the people on the walkway, the traffic below, the heat, and the hustle and bustle... all of it faded away and we found ourselves experiencing a heightened sense of connection to our performance. One of the few times when both audience and performers were almost oblivious to each other - while being fully aware of each other! Thank you Delhi. Thank you Metro Walk Way!
