I love the movement captured in this particular photograph through the swirling skirts and wild hair :) I also like the unintentional crossed lines theme displayed in the wall braces, the straps on my dress, my arms and my legs :)

Also, if you notice in the background of all of these pictures, the choreographer decided to fly out all of the wings and the scrim (take away the fabric that usually hangs on the sides of the stage and in the back). This created a larger stage, allowed the audience to see into the sides of the stage and created a much more industrial and potentially more realistic "backdrop" to the piece.

lay down in the grass

a.k.a hold this position for 10-20 seconds after completing the first half of dance

thoughts going through my head: "engage your abs", "stop shaking", "look out at your hand", "when will the birds start chirping?" (the next sound cue), keep scooping your abs", "hold still", . . . "finally, the birds :)"
