We started by improvising around the model's physical position, with hands on the butt, backs arching, hips thrusting forward. The directives were awkward feet, start in your own sphere and then move into interactions with other dancers, and get into a line somewhere in the middle, which will disperse. Through this we identified effective moments to keep (like Jillian getting her head to poke through someone's elbow, ending poses and Nola spazzing out). The duration was determined by the Patsy Cline song "You're Stronger Than Me (non-orchestra version)". We also improvised around 'exposing' or 'showcasing' a selected body part, and then selling that body part verbally. We ended up with a line across the back of the space that would be a great backdrop to a solo. As the soloist exits the back line could add their vocal 'hawking' of their body parts simultaneously.
