Rehearsal 3 - Relationships Duet developed

(Project 3)
In Rehearsal 2, Abbie and Liz were working on a relationships duet, based on love/hate.  They continued working on that duet today, but they used Dan's story as a basis for developing the movement and the intention.  They worked from the descriptive words that Dan used, and from the structure that he gave in terms of the cycle. 

Dan: 
Here's an idea for you. It's based on a situation that is happening to a friend of mine. 
He's in an unhappy relationship and has "dumped" his girlfriend 6 times already, but each time he gets barracked by her until he agrees to go back out with her again! She's a bit obsessive, always prying into his life, he's loving but completely spineless! 

I guess I have an idea of unhappiness and separation, weakness and spinlessness, contrasted then with togetherness and happiness again, only to feel trapped and unhappy again. It's a vicious cycle that he can't break because of his own weakness and her claw like grip over him.
