The Olive of Spathes
The Olive of Spathes is a solo celebration dance originating in The Fleeting-Unification of Musing. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by any composition of The Offbeat Flowery Buckwheat-Grain as the dancer acts out any composition of The Calculating Thought.
