The opening movements (entrance) were derived from the Yellow Springs Institute, creative residency, in Philadelphia that was created with four dancers (2 men, 2 women).  Manipulation of white hand held objects to receive projected images was discovered in an improvisation session in Moab, Utah with Bruce Hucko, photographer and also appeared later in Utah * Spirit Place * Spirit Planet * Tukuhnikivatz.
