THE UNDERSCORE is a long-form dance improvisation structure developed by Nancy Stark Smith. There are 20+ phases of the score—each with a name and a graphic symbol (glyph)—which create a general map for the dancers. Within that frame, dancers are free to create their own movements, dynamics, and relationships—with themselves, each other, the group, the music, and the environment.

The most essential part of UNDERSCORE is that it is a closed container. And that while it's open to new dancers, those who have never danced it before must arrive early to familiarize themselves with the score.
