- Description: "A bad place, he had trapped me in a bad place. Men have given me disease. Men deceive, they have deceived me with money. They gave me a venereal disease. It has finished the children in my home. I sit down and dream of Miliam." This lament is perhaps a strange basis for a dance except as an extension of the thought in dance drama, the equivalent of religious dancin, the extension of the music into movement. Dance song.
