     "We experimented with the sequence: 'throw, arm, then, thrash, out, first, violent, breakdown, fraught, society, reflect, turn, away, crouch, shudder, kick, look, cathartic, last,' which yielded

    five very distinct sets of movement from each of the dancers"

    -Lasting Bound: Navigating Legacy in Twenty-First Century Modern Dance, Julia Lawton
