You Made me Love You

- Wear only underwear and socks
- A palette on each hand that helps balance in dance and prolongs anatomy.
- Dance to "You made me love" sung by Nat King Cole
- Dance from one pivot point in space, balanced in one leg each time, fluid movements, keeping all parts of the body in motion, causing all movements to develop from their roots, evolving without discontinuity, without isolating movements as if one single motion articulated like an organic machine... a choreography that is designed at the starting point, from a field of possibilities created by the initiated initial dance.
- The performance lasts for the duration of the song.

1983, António Olaio, You Made me Love You, Espectáculo de Variadades Artísticas para uma Escola de Belas Artes, ESBAP. Fotografias por Pedro Tudela.
