A glimpse behind the scene of a dancer’s mind, busying itself to quite some extent with discomforts and nagging of the body, and how these can make themselves independent and take overhand.

 „... thrilling for example „good morning, dancer“. Two women and the urban music of Fred Frith, which enters into their bodys, moves and jerks through them. Metallically hard. The two bodies, like robot dolls, and yet again so bony-soft human, commit themselves to the music, are being pushed by it, pulled, comply to it’s impulses, like the metal pellets in physics...“ (Landbote, Okt.99)
