“Roots and Wings”, choreographed by Heather Robertson was a modern dance piece that began with about ten dancers on the floor of the stage in complete darkness. The performers were making slow, but staccato, synchronized movements across the stage. Although the movements were synchronized, dancers were moving in all possible directions of the stage. As the performance continued, my eyes adjusted to the darkness and I was able to focus on the details of the dance routine. I noticed that the movements were centered on the ground; hence, the dancer’s main actions involved crawling, leaping, and diving to the floor
