The Pistillate Boll

The Pistillate Boll is a group performance dance originating in The Clocks of Disloyalty. 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 Heather of Pepper-Plants. The dancers perform loosely mingled turning clockwise, moving slowly with the music. The dance is punctuated by spins, crude independent body movement and sensual sway shadowed by group members.

• The dance begins with the introduction of the music. The dancers perform to the vuthrilsim rhythm. This delicate section is punctuated by sinuous hand gestures.
• The dance enters a new section with the passages of the music. The dancers perform to the kungujith rhythm. This weightless section is punctuated by grotesque hand gestures, with large moves and movement performed in retrograde by group members.
