REPERTORY/ Raft Piece

Raft Piece is a version of Group Primary Accumulation performed on floating rafts in a body of water. Done in silence, four dancers, placed on individual rafts perform the piece in unison and generate a series of accumulating gestures. The figures rotate 45 degrees each on the last two moves, making a 90-degree turn with the completion of the phrase. The phrase is repeated until, in the last two minutes, a 360-degree turn is achieved and all sides of the dance and the dancers are revealed.
