PART 1- CASUALLY WALK OUT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE SPACE FOCUSING ON A SPOT ABOVE YOU. ONCE DIRECTLY BENEATH THAT SPOT, PAUSE A MOMENT, THEN WRAP ONE LEG BEHIND THE OTHER LEG AND BEGIN TO SPIN.

PART 2-  SPIN AROUND AND LET IT WANDER. SPIN FASTER AND FASTER. SUDDENLY STOP YOURSELF COMPLETELY. KEEP YOURSELF FROM FALLING, AND TRY TO STAND COMPLETELY STILL.

PART 3- ONCE STILL AND SEMI BALANCED, TAKE A LARGE STEP OUT TO THE SIDE AND ENTER INTO A LUNGE WITH YOUR ARMS OUT TO THE SIDES.  STAY IN THE LUNGE POSE FOR A MOMENT, LETTING YOUR BODY ADJUST TO STILL BEING DIZZY. ONCE YOURE NOT DIZZY ANYMORE, SLOWLY SLIDE YOUR HEELS TOGETHER. KEEP YOUR TOES FACING OUTWARDS. BEGIN TO RISE UP AND STAND AS TALL AS YOU CAN IN THIS POSITION. BRING YOUR ARMS DOWN TO YOUR SIDES AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN.  HOLD THIS. AFTER HOLDING FOR A GOOD MOMENT, SUDDENLY RELAX YOUR BODY. RELEASE THE TENSION IN YOUR ARMS AND LEGS.

PART 4- FROM RELAXED STANDING, SLOWLY START TO SLOUCH. RELAX YOUR NECK FIRST, THEN SHOULDERS, THEN BACK. LET THE TOP HALF OF YOUR BODY SLOWLY SLOUCH DOWN UNTIL YOU ARE BENT OVER. SLOWLY START SWINGING YOUR ARMS UP AND DOWN IN FRONT OF YOU. GRADUALLY SWING LARGER AND LARGE SWINGS. EVENTUALLY, WHILE SWINGING YOUR ARMS UP,  YOU WILL JUMP BOTH YOUR FEET BACK BEHIND YOU. PUSH OFF THE GROUND WITH YOUR FEET, WHILE YOUR ARMS ARE UP ABOVE YOU. AFTER THIS PUSH, YOU WILL BOUNCE FOWARD. CATCH YOURSELF FROM FALLING BY PUTTING OUT ONE ONE LEG.

PART 5- CATCH YOURSELF FROM FALLING WITH ONE LEG AND THEN BRING BOTH YOUR FEET TOGETHER. REPEAT THIS ACTION. LET IT WANDER AROUND THE SPACE. 

PART 6- AFTER WANDERING AROUND THE SPACE FOR A GOOD WHILE, ON THE LAST ONE, CATCH YOURSELF WITH ONE LEG BUT THEN LEAN BACK ON YOUR BACK LEG. NOW STRAIGHTEN OUT YOUR FRONT LEG. KEEP YOUR TOES UP AND YOUR HEEL ON THE GROUND. 

PART 7- FROM A LEANED BACK POSITION, WITH YOUR FRONT HEEL ON THE GROUND, PUSH FORWARD WITH YOUR BACK LEG AND ROLL UP AND OVER THE HEEL. KEEP YOUR FRONT LEG AS STRAIGHT AS YOU CAN WHILE DOING THIS. THIS WILL MAKE YOU TAKE A STEP FOWARD. REPEAT WITH EACH LEG.

PART 8-  LET THE WALK WANDER. 

PART 9- COME OUT OF THE ABOVE WALK BY SIMPLY TAKING A VERY LARGE STEP FOWARD.

PART 10- CONTINUE TAKING LARGE STEPS AND TURN IT INTO A CIRCLE. AS YOU GO AROUND IN THE CIRLCE, SLOWLY MAKE THE DISTANCE OF YOUR STEPS SHORTER AS YOU GO.  

PART 11- KEEP TAKING STEPS UNTIL YOU HAVE ENTERED NORMAL WALKING STEPS. WHEN YOU GET TO THIS POINT, BEGIN TO WALK ON YOUR TOES WITH YOUR LEGS COMPLETELY STRAIGHT. ATTEMPT TO BE AS TALL AS YOU CAN.

PART 12- WHILE ON YOUR TOES, BEGIN TO BREAK THE CIRCLE PATTERN AND WANDER AROUND THE SPACE. AT A CERTAIN POINT, BEGIN TO BEND YOUR KNEES AS YOU WALK. 

PART 13- GRADUALLY GET LOWER IN YOUR WALK- STILL ON YOUR TOES, WITH KNEES BENT. BEGIN TO CROUCH INTO YOUR WALK.

PART 14- AFTER WALKING LIKE THIS FOR A GOOD MOMENT, STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPACE, STILL IN CROUCHED POSITION. BE STILL. 

PART 15- FROM CROUCHED POSITION, SLOWLY  BEGIN STRAIGHTEN YOUR LEGS, BRINGING YOUR HEELS BACK TO THE GROUND. ONCE YOUR HEELS TOUCH, YOU SHOULD BE IN A SLIGHTLY DIAGONAL POSITION LEANING OVER YOUR TOES. SLOWLY BRING YOURSELF UP INTO A TALL STANDING POSITION.

PART 16- STAND STILL FOR A MOMENT. THEN, GO BACK UP ON YOUR TOES AND WALK AGAIN, AND REPEAT THE ACTION ABOVE.  GO FROM WALKING TALL AS YOU CAN ON YOUR TOES, INTO A LOWER CROUCHED WALK ON YOUR TOES.

PART 17-  AFTER REPEATING THE SAME ACTION ABOVE, STAND FOR A MOMENT- TALL AND BALANCED AND THEN EXIT THE SPACE.

THIS ENDS THE PERFORMANCE.
