Heya, i am aother dance student making a solo to this poem and have spent
hours trying to find inspiring yet practical music that relates to the
poem. Ive heard that a song was actually composed about this poem but i
cant get hold of it. I was jst wondering what other people's music choices
are like? Thanks for your help...

Hi, Yeh i am another AS dance student, and i really like the idea of
choreographing a dance to this poem. I thought maybe that this poem has a
number of people, for example sisters or close friends, all going on an
adventure.. and where it says "may comes home with a smooth round stone" im
thinking this person likes to keep memory to where she has been. I also
feel that this poem is very relaxing and has a particular message for the
reader.. but i am currently trying to find that out!! GD LUCK ALL THE AS
DANCERS CHOOSING THIS QUESTION FOR THEIR EXAM PIECE xx

Hi. I am another AS student that is looking at this question for the final
piece. My idea of the poem is that they could be all one person with
different personalities or feelings. The beach is the most important thing.
It's a place to make new friends however it is a place where there are
troubles.
Cheers for reading this.

I just thought i'd share with you some of the ideas i have been looking
at...
the star personality could involve a motif using the hand "five languid
fingers" so the hand would be the focus point
Also Cummings experimented with Synta, which in this poem evidently creates
a very strong rhythm!! so i have created a motif using that rhythm as the
initial point...
Well, thats my input... hope it helps =)
Good luck y'all!!

again...an AS stunent! no surprise there.
the style of this poem is child like so the movements and motifs should
represent that, but in the second half of the poem, the tone changes. it
becomes more subdued and fearful. possibly showing a different aspect to
her personality.
she seems connected to the sea in some way, saying that she goes there to
find herself.

cheers for reading this. its only my opinion, theres probably a million
different interprataitons of it...

like the last 10 comments i am also an as student of dance and studing the
question i think that the girls are different personalites of one person
and deal with different themes within the poem like childhood, loniness and
the nusery style shows that going back to childhood can help you with your
problems which is illustrated by the last two lines. the beach is a
repersentative of the childhood and movement motifs could stat with beach
play!
