Twelve or more hours. The van held all eight of us and somehow with our tossing and turning, shifting and sqeezing we managed to laught and enjoy those tight quarters for the entire trip. We were: Ronja from Finaland; staying responsible, always in the front with Lemmer. Lemmer from Germany, with his order and organization and generosity, he drove 10 hours straight for us, Elona from Czech, with her squinting smile, Petri from Finland, strong and honest, Masha from Moscow, a quick wit and beautiful young sensuality, Juha from Finland always looking for the most intense conversation about life and truth, Danya from Israel also looking with Juha, Brando from USA, playful and light. With legs hanging over legs, heads on shoulders, torsos over stomaches and any configuration that would present moments of comfort and consensus throughout the trip. We bonded and we made it to the European Contact Improvisation Teachers Exchange in Haslach, Austria.
