Section one phrase example

As section one progresses, the dancer falls to the ground before squirming at the foot of the cloth, the pressure pushing down on her, forcing convulsions, binding her to the ground. Displaying exclusively low and medium levels, together with contrasting dynamics of sustained and vibratory or percussive movements, the dancer reaches out to the audience, provoking involvement, and emotional attachment. Her determination and longing for freedom is oppressed as the representational movements manifest. The dancer ascends to an upright position, wrapping the cloth around her and stepping on it, binding herself to the ground. These introverted, constrained movements convey to the audience the dancer's struggle. The audience are shown her struggle against not only the symbolic interpretation of the ground as her work and the pressure placed upon her to work, but also the literal meaning of being bound and specifically the African-American woman's fight to rise above.
