Performing Kaprow's Activities

When performing Kaprow's activities, I was actually pleasantly surprised. Linnie and I chose to do tail wagging dog which consisted of one partner following the other while stepping on the partner's shadow. When the follower stepped off the shadow they had to clap two rocks together and switch rolls. Originally I expected it to be uneventful. Once Linnie and I got started though. we made it some more fun. It was kind of difficult to step on the shadow. The sun was high in the sky when we performed our activity at 2 pm making the shadows smaller. We also thought it would be more fun to do the performance in a more publicly place so we followed each other to Starbucks where the dim lighting still allowed us to follow our shadows. The cashier was ignoring us or he was busy, but either way he did not react to us strangely, unfortunately. In the end, this activity overall was not as easy or boring as I had originally expected.
