The Specimen of Reasoning

The Specimen of Reasoning is a sacred group dance originating in The Spine of Hives. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by The Deliberate Riddles. The dancers perform loosely mingled. The flamboyant powerful debauched dance is punctuated by low leaps, high body level and jerking forward bends, with movement mirrored by group members.

• The dance begins with the passages of the music. The dancers perform very slowly with the music. This vigorous section is punctuated by independent body movement.
• The dance enters a new section with the next passages of the music. The dancers perform slower and slower to the warosp rhythm. This section is punctuated by curved walks, with movement performed in retrograde by group members.
