Spatial arrangement: a row, like stewardesses demonstrating safety measures on an airplane. Eyes closed. Right arm arcs from the side of the body to the top of the head and back again, marking, enlarging time patterns, while the left arm arcs from the side of the body to the top of the head in diminishing time patterns.
