In dance there is a balancing act, between practicing the movements so often that you donโt consciously think about the individual movements, and still putting emotion behind the actions. Without words the dancer has to use their body to express every emotion clearly enough so even the person of the farthest seat can see and understand the emotional ups and downs of the story.
In this way I feel drones are dancers. They must use their bodies to express emotions without ever uttering a word. Their actions programed and yet still personal. Their sole task to communicate utter obedience to their owner.
