This task is called Passive/Aggressive.
In it, Mr. Jones said: “One person becomes the support and the other person is leaning and trying to give as much weight as they can.
And then groups of people connect to those two people.
They can either lift the person up or they can all just collapse to the ground or they can just walk out of it.
That’s where the menu gets very exciting: When you see the combinations and the shapes.”

Yvonne Rainer USA
In 1966, Yvonne Rainer presented “Trio A,” her celebrated solo that emphasized movement over expression.
By stripping dance of narrative, of emotion and even of the dancer’s gaze — there is no looking at the audience — the steps could shine.
And those steps, delivered with the same temperament no matter how simple or difficult, were the dance.
What did Rainer banish? Affectation.
In another iteration of “Trio A,” in 1970, the work expanded to six dancers, including Rainer, who performed nude with American flags tied around their necks like halter tops, at the People’s Flag Show at Judson Memorial Church in New York.
The event was a response to the prosecution of the gallery owner Stephen Radich for showing work that desecrated the flag.
Censorship, the Vietnam War — these were issues of the day.
