Vacuum-ed into space

I feel Asimina did a great job last week of articulating a way to bring clarity to this work around vacuums. Asimina suggested that the subject-dancer use words to indicate her intention of where the vacuum exists. For example, I direct my intention to my elbow (or the space behind my elbow) and I let my partner know that I'm grooving on my elbow by pointing at it and saying "here" before I suck my elbow through that space.

By the way, I want to share that the image that I am working with is not a vacuum per se but a vacuum cleaner--we're trying to get at the action of pulling, sucking, inhaling, etc.
