Written for the FSCDC e.V./Central Germany Branch teachers’ workshop, February 2024.
The Kessel Run is what Han Solo famously managed “in 12 parsecs” in Star Wars. This dance owes a debt of gratitude to Ed Abdill’s Starlight, and it lets you do something in space that usually takes a lot longer, with lots of panache, tight turns, and narrow escapes. The dance’s main objective is to combine double triangles and hello-goodbye setting, which do not frequently occur in the same dance.
