The first sound of the video is bird chirping, as the video progressed, the sound of the birds can sometimes be overlapped by other sounds of the square.
The point of view is slightly upwards from the ground. The dancer walked away and towards the camera several times, as if to measure the distance from the camera. In the end, she stopped about 10 steps away from the camera, on the ground next to the chess board patterned space,
Throughout the video, the dancer span constantly, using the force created by the swinging of the arms.
There were lots of people passing by, some of them registered the dancer slightly, some didn't. Most of the people registered the dancer were the ones sitting on the stairs or on the edge of the ground.
There were two young people started dancing, rolling, and tumbling behind the dancer. It was difficult to tell whether they were imitating the dancer or simply enjoyed their own bodily activity.
Sometimes, pigeons would walk across the floor, at one point, there was a little boy imitating the walk of the bird while the dancer danced at the background.
People dressed as tourists sometimes took a look at the dancer, then walked away.
The sounds of the wind can be heard clearly. It was a windy day, as there was one point the camera was shaken by the wind.
The dancer interacted with people walking by, sometimes walking behind them, sometimes confronting them, which formed an interesting picture on the screen. At one point, the dancer walked with a group of people together, then turned to different directions as the group of people turned as well. It was improvised, yet the route looked choreographed.
The dancer also responded to the music being played by a busker somewhere else.
The movements of the dancer can be described as floating sometimes, in a way, the dancer moved gently that it looked as if she was dancing above the cloud or on the surface of water.
There were also times that the dancer chose to sit down or lied down among the moving people, By doing so, her still image seemed to be magnified in contrast of the fast moving crowds.
Sometimes, the dancer ran or walked in a a shape of 8, and the route of moving could sometimes covered the entire ground, as if she created a space to contain all these people and movements.
People were not aware of the camera so sometimes they would just stand in front of the camera, and the dancer was therefore partially blocked. Dancing among-st people's legs created a humorous, if not funny, effect.
The body lines of the dancer were usually asymmetrical, that is, she often put the weight on one side, even when doing a grand plie in second position, she would sink more on one leg with the other foot demi pointed.
There were bits that the dancer tried to interact with the dog and a toddler, both were interrupted by the owners, and the mother. the later one even appeared to be a bit panicked.
In the end the improvised dance finished with the end of the third song we hear from the busker.
