A 10-foot-long, ¾” x ¾” stick is placed with one end against the base of the wall and the other end on the dancer’s head. The dancer facing the wall moves forward maintaining the original angle of the stick until the head is wedged in between the stick and the floor. Performed by four dancers placed at equal distances along one wall or in partners – stick against stick – in the center of the gallery.
