Yes, I felt to wear knee pads would remove the direct contact with the ground, which was such an important part of the performance - to gain a sense of the detail and texture and particularity of the surface, in all its grit and wet and dirt.Gail Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550663341854564553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394027724582655873.post-50411938449133129692010-11-16T15:47:38.775+00:002010-11-16T15:47:38.775+00:00An admirable and potent statement.

It's reassuring, though, that most people were concerned rather than aggressive.<br />I'd be far too self-conscious to do such a thing, but if I did I'd also be too soft to do with no protection. I'd have to wear gloves, knee pads and thick jeans. But that would probably reduce the statement somewhat.<br />I'd have thought that thin corduroy trousers wouldn't be up to the task. After a few metres all the corduroy must have rubbed away, and after a whole mile I would have thought that there'd be no material left at all on the knees, just gaping holes, so you'd be dragging raw flesh along the ground; ouch! Jeans might have been tougher. I don't suppose that you'll be able to wear your cords again either. I'm surprised that you weren't more hurt and cut yourself. Good luck with future performances.Indigo bluenoreply@blogger.com
