Five performers in matching tan outfits mill about on an empty stage. They all stop, standing in a dim pool of light.

They raise their arms, holding them out at their sides.

 

00 23

They slowly lower their arms, 27 then turn to face the front of the stage, and raise their arms again.

Slowly, each performer flaps their arms and kicks their legs like they’re running in place.

 

00 44

The performers move independently with mounting energy, leaping in the air as they kick their legs and whirl their arms.

Their repeating movements grow frantic.

They flop to the stage, seemingly exhausted. “The people flying . . .”

 

01 22 “. . . back then.”

A figure in white dances onto the stage. “We had this . . .”

 

01 49 “. . . how dangerous it was.” Dim “My father was always ????”

The performers in tan roll to the side of stage and the figure in white dances on their own. “We heard of accidents . . .”

The dancer spins and twirls. “It was all ???”

The dancer rolls across the stage. “We were ready on all the maneuvers.”

The dancer runs in a circle. “Our instructors were . . .”

The dancer bounces up and down. “Some women who . . .”

The dancer pauses. “I taught aircraft mechanics . . .”

 

04 27 “Pulls us to the earth.”

The dancer shimmies backwards toward the others. “But I’ve always felt . . .”

 

04 38 “. . . you can just float.”

The dancer crouches with the others.
