   • Motifs
     • patting around as if to "search" for something or a way
     • drawing legs in circles to show boredom? action can be expanded to fit dynamics
     • grasping for something
     • backward shoulder tapping, as if a false lead telling you to look there
       • quick and abrupt - very fitting for the music
     • hands on head to show the frustration one feels of not being able to find something

2. "Guaranteed" happiness when found

   • i.e without it, feel meaningless, bored
     • anger - sharp, uncontrolled movements, spontaneous, full of power and energy
     • droopy, water like, weighted movements
   • when i think i find a lead,becomes excited
     • energetic, strong movements
   • i.e reach and grab 'it' back in energetic movements, once received and looked at, have a droopy, feeble texture to display disappointment
   • change in levels
     • high reaches and jumps to show hope and confidence
     • falls and melt downs to display hopelessness

3. Following Planned Ways to Get Something

   • repetition - showing multiple attempts to get something
     • altering each set to show tweaks in "plan"
       • jumps and big high energy movements for first phrase
       • losing energy and falling in tempo as the reps continue
         • representing laziness and hopelessness
         • sharp, strong dynamic at beginning, sluggish, lethargic near later reps
   • stiff, sharp dynamics
     • showing methodical ways to get something
     • contrasted with softer dynamic
       • showing loss, confusion, not able to obtain the "thing"
   • big actions - external
