Ten-foot long sticks (1x1) are placed end to end in a horizontal line just above the supine bodies of the performers. Keeping contact between sticks, the performers circle or roll in careful motion around their sticks. If contact is lost, they must stop and correct it. The action of rolling is shaped by the second task of holding the sticks in a fixed position and in turn, the balance of the sticks is made more difficult by the large activity of the maneuvering body. The horizontal line of the sticks changes from one line to smaller units at angles to each other as the piece progresses.
