Twelve Foot Change is an exercise in canon. Three dancers cross the space from opposing sides and move towards a central axis. Wearing sunglasses and parkas, the dancers move with stark rigidity. From within the warmth of the costumes, it is as though the dancers are protected from the coolness of the movement.
