The woman enters with her back to the audience, as if she were concealing her true feelings. But we can read them in her back, the way she hesitates slightly, the tilt of her shoulders and head. She curtsies to an imaginary partner, offers her hand, delicately places it on his shoulder, and sets off on her own, internal waltz. Kowroski dances the whole thing as if in a dream. -- source link
