Dame Alicia Markova reconstructs George Balanchine's choreography for the role of the Nightingale, which she created in his ballet Le chant du rossignol (The song of the nightingale) for Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1925. She begins by describing the action (based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen) as the music is played, then works intensively with dancer Iohna Loots on the nightingale's variation and pas de deux with Death, a role intended to be performed by a female dancer. Historians Millicent Hodson and Kenneth Archer, who assisted in the reconstruction, appear briefly on camera.

Maria Tallchief, a former principal ballerina with the New York City Ballet, coaches a current principal, Heléne Alexopoulos, in excerpts from the leading roles she created in two ballets choreographed by George Balanchine to the music of Igor Stravinsky: Firebird (1949) and Orpheus (1948). In the interview sections, she analyzes details of the choreography, noting the Russian folk flavor in the berceuse, the importance of hand and arm movements and épaulement in Balanchine's choreography, and his emphasis on the proper execution of transitional steps, including walking and running. Having been married to Balanchine at the time, she was able to observe at close hand the creative process that produced both ballets.

CRWDSPCR is among the earliest pieces exemplifying Cunningham's use of the choreographic software program LifeForms (now known as DanceForms). The LifeForms program represents the human body as a series of concentric circles. Its user can dictate and simultaneously notate a wide variety of choreographic variables. The computer screen, divided into squares like a checkerboard, becomes a virtual stage that can be electronically tilted or rotated so that genderless, wire-frame figures can be viewed from any number of perspectives. To hone the seemingly impossible choreography of CRWDSPCR, Cunningham not only mined the potential of manipulating his digital avatars within the software, but in translating this work to the studio tested the real physical possibilities of his dancers.
