SPACE: duet enter from upstage and DSL corner. Ensemble enter from both sides
DYNAMICS: duet - slow but builds with urgency. Light and smooth. Continuous flow. Ensemble - flow. Slow to contrast with busyness of music, sharp, fast (chariots of fire) shows clarity. Jerky.
RELATIONSHIPS: from duet to full ensemble. Dancers "throw" energy between each other. Action/reaction. - 14Part 3: Connection and flowAccompaniment

Lightness and speed of music makes it feel like the energy in the ripples of the duet are echoing the music to give it movement - DIRECT CORRELATION
Picks up on highlights and intensity of music when pitch gets higher, movement gets faster
Music builds in urgency and so does dancing
