REPERTORY/ Spanish Dance

A dancer slowly raises arms like a magnificent Spanish dancer and travels forward in time to Bob Dylan's 'In the Early Morning Rain.’ When dancer A touches up against the back of dancer B, dancer B slowly raises her arms like a magnificent Spanish dancer and the two travel forward, touching up against the back of dancer C, and so on until they all reach the wall. Spanish Dance appeared as part of Accumulating Pieces, 1973.
