Based on the poem "Monday's Child is Fair of Face" and choreographed in a Graham based vocabulary.

 Tuesday: Woman's solo: Broad, sweeping movement with generous spatial projection. The large movement is punctuated with quickness and sufficient strength for suspended leaps. Requires a big dancer.
 Friday: Woman's solo: Quick, clean and precise. Pithy and flippant in style. Rhythmic precision necessary. Requires a small dancer who is light and can skim the floor. Technically difficult.
 Saturday: Man's solo: Strength, directness and good control are required to project a solid male image. The dance is tongue in cheek; this dancer has to work hard to earn a dollar.
