Description: Deren explores, from a dance aspect, Woo or Wu Tang boxing, by placing the camera as a spectator watching a boxer exercising. The camera itself becomes the boxer's sparring partner, dodging and attempting to return the athlete's blows. The adjustments, pans, and zooms of the camera simulate a human response. This dance poem is contoured to express the movements and the meaning of these movements in this form of boxing.
