CDP/NYC is led by Damaris Webb. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs. Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz. How quickly daft jumping zebras vex. Jimmy and Zack, the police explained, were last seen diving into a field of buttered quahogs. Five or six big jet planes zoomed quickly by the tower.

Contemplative Dance

Contemplative Dance is a practice developed by Barbara Dilley, Merce Cunningham dancer and member of Grand Union. About sixty codfish eggs will make a quarter pound of very fizzy jelly, the five boxing wizards jump quickly, and the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Blowzy red vixens fight for a quick jump.
