Section 5: Box

• Start and end of dance

  Starts with SLC entering the box, LM on top of the wooden boxes, ends with SLC pulling the box over onto himself after LM leaves ontop of the wooden boxes
• F+C: 3 movements and analysis


  -SLC inside the small metal box: enters, slowly turns around, pressing all of the sides (trying to find a way out/a way to be accepted), later crosses his hands in front of body placing them on the edges of the box to show tiny space (prejudice, put in a box by society). Hands over face = despair. Young monk joins Larbi to show the idea that they are both facing being put in a "box" by society's views, demonstrated by the unison movement performed.

  
  

  -SLC helps LM into box (flip, supports arms and places him on ground) , helps him out of it (LM steps onto his hands and SLC boosts him up), SLC tries to follow but is trapped, pulls box over head as though fully contained by society's ideas/ideals.

  
  

  -LM pulls SLC back into box when he rolls out of it
• O+NC: 1 movement and analysis

  -Student/teacher relationship: LM mirrors SLC's movements, such as doing splits on the left side of the box as SLC does it on the right, or performing cobra yoga pose, SLC on the floor and LM hanging off the top of the box
• JoA: 1 movement and analysis

  -SLC and LM in contact/supportive work: SLC on his back, hands and feet in the air, LM cautiously takes his hands and balances, briefly stay like that, with SLC supporting LM, acceptance of each other/supporting through rejection
• Set + Analysis

  Singular metal box at the front of the stage

  Different material, diff from wooden boxes, SLC and LM outcasts but closer to being accepted than before as its not separate from the other boxes
• Music + Analysis

  Slow and sad music

  Sad, bad experience of being trapped by society's expectations/prejudice
• Lighting + Analysis
