After doing a Fluxconcert, we often go out to eat. When we do, we usually perform one of two or three food pieces at the table.
Our favorite is Danger Music Number Fifteen by Dick Higgins. Yesterday, we performed it by purchasing a few large blocks of creamery butter for each of the five who went to Leeds and a dozen eggs each.
We brought plates with us to the restaurant to use as working surfaces.
After dinner, we each took a plate and we massaged the butter into forms. This time, we chose the five Platonic solids, or something like them. Then we slowly cracked eggs into the buttery mass, massaging and reshaping the butter.
When we left the restaurant, we took the plates with us. We left the butter-and-egg objects at different locations along the way back to the train station.
