I MUST

I have taken to listening to the National programme in the morning while I make breakfast. This morning Kim Hill got a txt that said:
"Kim - who are you after twelve and who were you before this programme began?"
Which made me think
How many dances about the holocaust have there been?

I MUST MAKE DANCE WORKS ABOUT:

the Holocaust
Cutting
Ballet-esque love duet
Grieving with ghostly figure
Dancers in a box
Dancers restrained by ropes

Body image issues (how could i forget!)
Returning to the wild/primal
Something over their faces

Putting your clothes on
Broken hearts
Making a heart shape with your fingers
