Circle the earth scores – 

to be aware of our own dancing and the dancing of others around us, how we interact with these are create interesting relationships.

Halprin used over 100 people, some with no dance background, she spent years researching the patterns that were made by the large groups moving when given a set of rules. These rules gave the performers a way of sustaining a delicate balance and gave enough guidance to move the bodies safely through the space, Halprin aimed to remove the rigid movement to give more ability to the dances so they could move more freely.
