Summary
Members of the American Theatre Laboratory perform an improvisational dance exercise to music consisting of the Beatles albums Sgt. Pepper and Magical mystery tour played simultaneously, with additional live percussion. Afterwards they perform another exercise with props, set to Japanese-style flute and percussion music. The actors appear to be reading from pieces of paper, but the voices are difficult to hear. Jerome Robbins directs the session.
