    Carry on with the same movements. Long periods of standing are
    required. Maintain or reestablish their balance. For long lengths of
    time, walk or run.
    MOVEMENT AND FORM: dinnamism
    COSTUME/PROP: different shades of blue for the dresses
    DESIGNER NAME: Jill Paz
    CONTEXT AND SIGNIFICANCE/ EVALUATION: Winghart's narrator is
    alone in a big warehouse for the first 30 seconds, his loneliness and
    powerlessness highlighted by the large empty space surrounding
    him. The dancers envelop him after this initial contemplation, the
    river rushing past him. They ripple and reflect his movements with
    stylistic syncopations at times, acting as memory anomalies. At
    other times, the narrator thrashes and fights the river, driven by his
    grief's wrath and desperation. The narrator eventually gains
    strength and comfort in his self-assurance, buoyed by the river's
    support.
