Q
What movement is performed on the lyric “the champion of the word”
Give the interpretation
A
Movement: He is crouched on the floor with his legs crossed over facing upstage, he slowly leans back circling one arm backwards to lean on, slowly lifting the other arm into a flexed muscle position, bringing the clenched arm up to his shoulder looking up at it
Interpretation: Looks like a champion showing his muscles as was a boxer, but being on a lower level shows he didn’t get there before it was taken away from him
Proves: Bruce uses music as a bases of structure, to define sections and generate movement
