Dance Video Quarries' Procession (Video 1)
Gay Gordons at Laurieston, 2015.
A rehearsal for a subsequent demo. Some infelicities of phrasing and position were still being worked out. There is one classic, but recovered, "where on earth am I supposed to be now" moment in the second time through. Otherwise its choreographically correct, while still showing the pitfalls of a fairly challenging dance.
