1977 – This version of Time Dance was an adaptation of dancers performing selected segmants of choreography from the stage work, Time Dance, on the steep steps leading down to the Potomac River behind the Lincoln Memorial.  The performance occurred during rush hour when many drivers would pass by the site or stop for a light. We performed in costume.   It was common for MWDCCo to present unannounced events in various locations in the city.  One Sunday MWDCCo performed in as many fountains as could be locate in the city during a 3-hour period – FOUND AUDIENCE IN FOUND SPACES.   Of course the artists tried not to be arrested for such activities.

Original Choreography:
Each Company member had a solo they created with group accompaniment added.

Original Costumes:
Costumes by John Bailey featured tie-dyed layers of costumes in shades of sky blue and water green.  Each dancer had a leotard, cotton shorts and a T-shirt, long cotton tie pants, or a skirt.  Clothes were de-accumulated down to the leotard during the dance.

It was already used for a site performance.  We performed at rush hour so the cars would back up so they could watch.
