REPERTORY/ Group Primary Accumulation

A variation of Primary Accumulation performed by 4 dancers. Four dancers places equidistant from each other in a line from downstage to upstage to perform the piece in unison.  After the 360-degree turn (see Primary Accumulation, (1972)), the dancers continue to repeat the sequence as two other dancers enter and transport them to new positions that relate to the physical space and also to each other.  - Trisha Brown: Dance and Art in Dialogue, 1961-2001, Teicher, Hendel
