when someone slaps you stand up and fight

that is exactly what this english boy did on the bus last night at 2:30am. i went to see the London School of Contemporary Dance's students present three new contemporary dance works last night. the works were very intentional and thrilling to watch. they all had this very contemporary phrase work textured with post modern ideas and investigations. i was able to go to this show with my composer. his name is craig and we will be creating a work together for my choreography and composition class. this was his first time watching live dance, so it was exciting to talk to him after the show.
the night was winding down and i went back to holly's and stayed for a moment. then i decided to get on the N87 going to New Malden.my temporary home.  little did i know that when someone slaps you . stand up and fight.  it was so random. i am sitting in a very tired state and i watch this young pubescent boy hit this random guy as he is walking off the bus. and then all of a sudden the innocent bystander is up and going after the boy. they have a moment of exchanging punches as the bus door is trying to shut.close. exchange a punch. a spit. a grab. blood. the bus driver stops the bus, and to his surprise the whole group of guys that were with the boy were doing something to the bus to make it stop working.lol. it was kind of scary. and funny.  the bus driver returned to the bus. tried to start the bus. lol. but it didn’t start. so we were sitting for about ten minutes before he went back outside the bus. used some mad bus man grease and fixed the bus. lol. i had no idea what these boys could have done to make the bus stop,lol. but the bus driver said they did something.lol. i am still in shock. but at the moment. i was sedated and ready to go to sleep.lol. hmm.
dog roses. within space or by touch. and what happens between us were the three pieces that were shown  by  the place's students.  the last piece was very enthralling due to its balance of multi focus points and beautiful contemporary dance phrase work. it was so interesting to watch these students dance because you could see them pouring into their limbs with these different energies. it was a total body experience for them. a girl was biting another girl in the  piece.haha. very human.haha. made me want to bite someone onstage. haha. or in real life..haha.
