The Plum of Cashews

The Plum of Cashews is a solo performance dance originating in The Bamboo of Enlarging. The rules of the form are applied by choreographers to produce individual dances which can be performed. The dance is accompanied by The Fruitless Tomato. This dance is a refined artform, with two special positions to be mastered. The dance is vigorous.

• The dance enters a new section with the bridge-passage of the music. The dancer performs slowly with the music. This debauched section is punctuated by straight-lined body level changes, sharp-edged raised right arms and counterclockwise quarter turns.
• The dance enters a new section with the recapitulation of the theme of the music. The dancer performs quickly with the music. This straight-lined intense section is punctuated by sharp-edged hand gestures and proud right kicks.
• The oyathu is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be a strong hand gesture with a high body level and a passionate facial expression.
• The slutha is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be a right leg lift.
