ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the ability to manipulate and control the flow of weight and momentum of another person. The physical actor embraces the “other” as a companion in the dance and a player on the same team. You will execute simple exercises focused on how to release your body onto the supportive floor and balanced up into the air. Your “sharer in the endeavor” will exchange roles with you as “base” and “flier,” providing a secure foundation and, alternately, an elegantly maneuverable body.
