The Kernel of Fir-Cones

The Kernel of Fir-cones is a solo performance dance originating in The Funerary Malevolence. The rules of the form are applied by choreographers to produce individual dances which can be performed. The dance is accompanied by any composition of The Fruitful Cherries. The dancer performs along a clockwise circle, moving to the music's assna rhythm. This dance is a refined artform, with three special positions to be mastered. The refined dance is punctuated by independent body movement and undulating body level changes.

• The dance begins with the passages of the music. This section is intense.
• The dance enters a new section with the bridge-passage of the music. The dancer performs faster and faster with the music. This vivacious section is punctuated by forward bends.
• The dance enters a new section with the finale of the music. The dancer performs very quickly with the music. This joyous section is punctuated by aggressive straight walks.
• The ozu is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be a vivacious rightward bend.
• The dusmorabur is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be a subtle arm carriage with an intense backward bend.
• The kulu is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be an elaborate right leg lift with a soft hand gesture.
