Resources: roll of 3" wide yellow tape; scissors; large sheet of poster board; black magic marker pen

Intention: to express the impact of societal limitation on the dancer in a confined space of a taped square
Preparation: Write the title of your work on the poster paper and place it near the performance so it informs people about your performance.
Instructions: one dancer performs movement inside a 2 1/2 to 3 foot square-shaped box (yellow tape) on the floor / sidewalk / other space for 10 to 15 minutes that reflects the confort or conflict with limitation as defined by the performer.
Conclusion: 10 to 15 minute time period.
Review and recommend changes: I performed this movement installation in an old Mill. It was called Art in the Mill and it's an annual gallery put on by area artists in and around Loudoun County and beyond. It was great to have a friend help me with the videing and to just be another eye. Thank you Anna!
I do love working in galleries, I've done it many times before, but not with this script. I became the spirit of the waterwheel. At times its insistence was exhausting and felt very confining. Interesting, when I was first in there I wasn't tuned into the water wheel's rhythm, but once I started moving, it was clear we were "within" this dance together.

Changes- I wish the posts weren't in the way of the videoing the whole time. I wish the space was smaller, like 1 foot by 1 foot, 3 feet by 3 feet wasn't very small. I felt safe not confined, but interestingly enough an audience member said she felt sorry for me because I had so little space to move in.
