Figure 1.

This Motif of an Atkinson video-clip depicts Body, Shape, Effort, and Space components in separate columns. Readers can move these components in their own way. Motif is read from the bottom up, with the lower double line marking the beginning of the movement. The first symbols above the double line are short, thus are brief in duration, and show the preparation part of the movement phrase. The duration of the symbols from the middle to the top/end of the Motif is extended in length (and therefore in time) by strokes and bows attached to them, showing the main action part of the phrase. The double bar at the top marks the end of movement.
