Notes
Weight settled on one leg so the hip pushes out and the shoulders tilt against it, putting a long curve through the body. The arms hang low and a little away from the sides with the hands occupied — holding a fall of cloth, or in a cage taking the bars, which frames the body between two vertical lines.
The hands are the point. Hands with nothing to do hang dead and the pose collapses.
