REPERTORY/ Group Primary Accumulation

Four dancers placed supine and equidistant from each other in line from downstage to upstage perform the piece in unison. The performers generate a series of accumulating gestures. The figures rotate 45 degrees each on the last 2 moves, making a 90-degree turn with the completion of the phrase. The phrase is repeated until, in the last two minutes of the dance, a 360-degree turn is achieved and all sides of the dance/dancers revealed.
