This program features Skip Blumberg's "Dancing Hands," a film containing various segments in which performers "dance" with their hands. The program opens with a prologue by Ann Magnuson in a spoof on a call-in ad for elaborate "press-on" nails, followed by the first segment, "Hip Hop Hands," in which the duo Magnificent Force performs to the music of James Brown, Prince, George Clinton, and M.A.R.R.S. In "Ballet Hand Isolations," members of the New York City Ballet are dressed in black and filmed against a black backdrop so that when they dance, only their hands are visible. In "Cassie's Dream," Wendy Perron acts out a story with her hands, and in "X-Ray," she performs a hand duet with Lisa Bush. In "Finger Tapping," Harold Nicholas of the famed Nicholas Brothers performs a tap dance with his hands to "Not Now, I'll Tell You When" by the Count Basie Orchestra. In an excerpt from "Joe and Blanche," hands act out a relationship between a man and a woman. A handshake sequence entitled "Prevailing Conditions" is filmed against a backdrop of news clips. In "Between Two Hands," a performer demonstrates how her hands dance together. Finally, in "Body Music for Hands," Keith Terry, who also performs the opening title piece, creates music with his hands, body, and voice.
