PART is a duet, created in the 70s, which reflects the artistic collaboration and language of Steve Paxton and Lisa Nelson. This performance presents a landscape that is structured from relationships and improvised dance, with texts and music by Robert Ashley.

This is the first and last part of an opera in 8 parts called "Perfect Lives". The sound of the voice becomes part of the music. The text does not illustrate de dance nor the dance illustrates the text. They coexist in a parallel way and sometimes, they touch each other.
