Duchess begins their piece by physically embodying the audience's suggestion or what the suggestion means to them. It then transforms into more ventures as each movement inspires the next. Often, the opening organically weaves back to land on one of its discoveries. The edits and information unearthed in the opening are treated as equally important to the piece. Hard to define and never the same, the edits often become mini scenes. One could compare them to quick group games in which Duchess has been known to flavor with song and dance. The cast is 5 females who love to manipulate their energies and bodies, and by doing so, their play and exploration fills up the whole space.
