I was thinking a bit more about the syncronised dancing routines and how the order of them is in contrast to the chaos of the street. This led me back to Backstreet Boys and so I was watching videos of them live in concert including a shaky home made recording of the concert in Beijing that I witnessed last year. Here is the link

The song ‘Everybody’ seems to be a vehicle for many of the ideas I am thinking about so I have been looking at ways I could incorporate it in some way into my world. I am attracted to the naff grandiosity of the music but I should not let it find its way into the performance without holding its weight and advancing something else. I think I like the ‘everybody’ theme because it poses the question, who is everybody? When this term is used there are usually some who this term is addressed to and some who it is not directed towards.
Related to this I was also thinking that when I speak I may use the term ‘WE’ when I talk about the British and a plural YOU in places (in Chinese second person singular and plural do not sound the same as they do in English). One way or another, I should determine how I frame the public through my actions as that conditions my relationship to them.
