The choreography is a lyrical spatial journey which displays Halquist's virtuosic clarity as a performer. Halquist has performed this solo over a 12-year period and has made it his signature piece.

Bill Evans and Don Halquist have devoted much of their professional lives to developing a modern dance technique. Evans incorporated patterns he had found meaningful and knowledge he had generated from an extensive study of Limón, Graham, Nikolais and Cunningham styles into his own teaching materials when he opened his own school for professional dancers in Seattle. He also integrated knowledge and practices derived from his long study of rhythm tap, jazz, and world dance forms. His focus was finding efficiency, fluidity, power, and a wide dynamic range. Most importantly, he integrated training principles gained from a study of kinesiology and principles and concepts of Bartenieff Fundamentals and Laban Movement Analysis into his teaching of modern dance technique.
