This film begins with points of light defining a dark space out of which a female dancer (Vivienne Palmer) emerges dressed in a semi-transparent green dress. Her dance is visually “echoed” by close-up superimpositions of her arms, legs and feet, and then later by her distant figure seeming to mimic and/or perhaps to control her fore-grounded, sometimes black-lit, image. She often pauses thoughtfully in her dance, breaks step, walks away, etc. defining the perimeters of the dance. Finally she appears naked, midst dance, and takes heraldic stance at end.
