3 movements: all passwords are "gesture"
Gesture 1 not a pretty beach from Shyamala Moorty on Vimeo.
Gesture 2 marked suspicious from Shyamala Moorty on Vimeo.
Gesture 3 backfire... from Shyamala Moorty on Vimeo.

Excerpt of my free write (I bolded the phrases I used for movement inspirations):
"It's not a pretty beach" I usually warn visitors, so their expectations are not too high. My visitors first notice the well manicured island with palm trees and a few tall narrow structures that look like small condos. Wealthy get away? Theme park? No, it's an oil island. Long Beach is built on oil? Guilt on oil? Where does it go? We still buy imported gas! Our 1900 miles of pipeline built on Tongva land (quoting a FB post from Jools) is a tiny reflection of the DAPL: So much can be hidden under water until the inevitable moment of structural fail as human's imperfect creations backfire into spluttering bubbles of wing destroying sludge. (I don't usually say that to my guests!) When they look past the island, to the right, in the distance, it's all rigs and cranes and metal frames that clog the horizon. That's the Port of LA. It was there, at the edge of my adopted city, that a Pakistani-American I once knew, lost his import export business because his incoming crates were marked suspicious after 9-11, never again to be released. Could they still be sitting there is some forgotten lot?
