Quartet 1st movement choreography

It is just before dawn. Songbirds are beginning to wake and declare their territories. The bird figures shift vertically as if sitting high in the trees and then as if on the ground searching for nourishment. Wary of predators, watching for their mates or potential mates. It is a quiet scene one that seems to celebrate existence in spite of pain, and death. there are 3 or 4 dancers active, each playing off the sound and rhythm of an instrument: piano, clarinet and violin. There is minimal movement through the space, most of the gestures involve the wings head, neck and the shifting levels of the figures. There is a movement reminiscent of bathing birds fluffing their feathers.
