This work takes the Serpentine dance as its reference to consider a shift in point of view from one which is on the ground linear and anchored to one which is from above, in flight and remote.
This is an extract of one of the 20 second dance phrases performed by Natalie Allen and choreographed by Alexander Whitley.
