Two live musicians. Silence on chairs.
Energetic partnering. Believable partnering.
Male dancer leading with his eyes. (Leading, or dancing with one's eyes as a separate isolation, is a standard part of skillful classical Indian dance, but rare or unheard of in Western dance.)
Drama interactions. Signature Muller shapes. (Meaning and abstraction fused: dance that makes you think, also characteristic Muller.)
Music half live, half computer. (Socially danceable music for the most part.)
Abstract fully committed extensions resulting in passion.
Pause. Couple. Very fast. Moments of stillness amid the fury. Pause.
Eight on stage. Group flow.
A "Momentum" for a world that is sad and angry and not quite right. (Simple dark-toned rainbow colors of outfits.) Maybe just reading current events into it?
Other dancers off stage. One dancer walking forward. (I would see "Working Title" again.)
