NY Times-The Art of Summer The Fluid Human Dance That Is Grand Central- Sunday Sept 4, 2011
I love the title of this article. I love the idea of this article. "Times critics are writing about everyday seasonal experiences." I love the simplicity of comparison of everyday gatherings of people as a comparison to dance. I loved the specific descriptions of the way people held them selves, percieved by the writer. "Carried their shoulders, swiveled their pelvis.
I love people watching myself. It fills me. I remember living in NYC, used to never understand why people didn't say hellow on the streets and i know why now. There is so much other information that people need to learn to shut down to deal with it all. But when you are empty and wanting stimulation there is no better place then a busy place to watch people like Grand Central Station. I loved the desription difference of people in the afternoon versus the morning. "More sexy, more released." I would have thought more tired, but infact what this viewer witnessed was just the opposite. The sense of letting go of the day was apparent.
I'm not sure I've ever been to Grand Central Station, but this article made me want to go there. Not so much to be a fly on the wall, but instead to be a dancer in the author's show.
