Brian Brooks in “First Fall” (2012) achieved a similar breakthrough when Whelan, in an incongruous yellow dress against the totally stripped down stage, repeatedly fell backward in cross formation onto Brooks’ back as he, too, fell to the floor. This stunning move was followed by Whelan turning onto her side on Brooks’ back, and the two bodies struggling elegantly to upright .

There were far more smiles than tears, yet everyone seemed to recognize the significance of the moment.
