"Tha-at’s right" is an attempt to choreograph a dance from a dance review. This review, written in 1959 by critic and poet Edwin Denby, articulates the music and movement of a dance using an idiosyncratic stream of metaphors. "Tha-at’s right" takes these outlandish descriptions literally by using them as a script or score, translating the written word back into a performance. This process was realised collaboratively with the performers onscreen over the course of a day.
