1. Episode
In the first episode the dancer looks inside and observes her moving body.
While moving she verbalises her corporeal sensations that are not visible to the viewer’s eye.
For example:
Tight eye
Wooden vertebrae
Curious soles of the feet
Meaty pelvis
Vast skin
During the episode the dancer shifts from observing her internal world towards drawing a mental image of her surroundings with the help of the echo of the sound of her voice.
