In twenty-foot dresses, Elizabeth Weinstein and I sat at a table and chairs, our skirts getting swept up and tugged downstream. We performed gestures and signs, graceful seated dances, slow revelations, and pedestrian actions creating a moving image that arose from the environment and that accentuated the impulses that arose in us during our duration in the flowing river.
