I got inspired by Babli's assignment #6 to modify my choreography of the San Lorenzo portion of my Mixing Waters poem. This version is framed for the camera (though I was using my phone, so it was hard to get the perfect angle) and integrates objects from the river. I filmed two versions, one in front of the windows and one against a plain white wall.

Questions:
(1) Which of these two do you prefer, and why? (Personally, I'm kind of bothered by my reflection in the windows version, and the way the white wall keeps changing color throughout in the second.)
(2) What do you enjoy about this version as opposed to the more full-bodied dance version I did?
(3) How might you see this work -- or the dancey one -- integrated with Sandra's study? How do you imagine them living in the context of the larger "Back to the Beautiful" installation?
(4) Other thoughts?
