THE WEAVER--AUDEJELE

THIS IS A DANCE DESIGNED ONLY FOR GIRLS TO DANCE.
IT CONSISTS OF 12 GIRLS AND 3 LARGE PIECES OF WOVEN LINEN.
THE GIRLS START OUT WITH THE MOTIONS OF A WEAVER PREPARING
TO WEAVE SOME LINEN. THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DANCE, THE
GIRLS GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS OF A WEAVER, TILL IN THE END,
THEY PRODUCE THE PIECES OF LINEN. THEN THEY TWIRL AROUND
AND DANCE REAL FAST, AS IF PLAYING AND SHOWING OFF THEIR
WORK TO ONE ANOTHER.
