Though SDRs will consist entirely of entries on the IMF's ledgers, in proportion to each nation's regular IMF contributions, they will become a permanent addition to the monetary reserves of IMF countries.

Accompaniment ranges from full symphony orchestras and electronic yawping to jazz and, as in the case of Jerome Robbins' Moves, dead silence. Costuming can consist of tossing on anything that suits the moment or, as in Parades and Changes, performed by Ann Halprin's Dancers' Workshop of San Francisco, taking it all off and cavorting around in the buff (although they wrap themselves in reams of flesh-colored paper...
