Beginning: Two dancers emerge from the side of the stage, introducing the themes of the dance. Dancers are introduced as normal working class people, illustrating the atmosphere in the city before the attacks took place.
Middle: First explosion happens and the themes of fear and panic are introduced. The Dancers perform varies sections in canon and others in unison showing the motifs of planes and fear.
End: Second explosion happens. Dancer 2 lies dead on the floor as Dancer 1 manages to escape. The dance ends with Dancer 1 breaking the 4th wall and directly addressing the audience in the words President Bush - 'Thank you, good night and good bless America'.
Climax: There are two climaxes in my dance - the two explosions. However, there are no build ups to the climaxes because the explosions were meant to be unexpected and sudden.
Highlights: There is a lift performed where Dancer 1 lifts Dancer 2 on her back while Dancer 2 kicks her legs upwards. This is probably the highlight of my dance because in my opinion it accurately summarises the feelings of the people who were present on that day including those who were willing to support and help, but also those who were trapped and unable to free themselves from the debris.
