- Analysis: ‘Reference is made to other cultures in thematic content. Davies seems to be drawing on the idea of ‘community’ as an inspirational source, communities talking and working together to solve problems. At the heart of the dance is Davies’ familiar concern for how sensations of everyday moods and feelings translate to infuse and extend the movement vocabulary’ (Sarah Whatley, 2002).
