BLOCKING: Football Metaphor with people actively trying to block each other from entering and exiting the train
MINGLE: Overlapping sways, stumbles, noises and gestures to create a sense of being on a packed train
SCHOOL’S OUT: Teens dominating the space, pushing, yelling and wreaking havoc on the train
MAKE-UP/PHONE TAI CHI: Intense focus on phones and applying make-up illustrated through moves inspired by Tai-Chi
GROSS THINGS: People dance dodging gross things on the floor
SERENADE: Drunk man singing to the passengers while just trying to catch his balance.
