"I can feel my frontal lobe"

Newspaper choreography. It's completely outrageously ridiculous. We passing, sliding, holding, replacing newspapers quickly between us, learning an intricate routine between three people and four rolls of newspaper. We make up moves, film what we made, run it again, make up some more, check out the film to make us remember. And our choreography brains switch on and then slowly melt. Luke says "i can feel my frontal lobe" and the next minute we are stick fighting with the newspapers and falling on the floor with laughter. After two hours work we have made up a minute of material. It is fun, productive work. The junction between the brain and the body remembering. Crossing and re-crossing the line between focus and hysteria.
