He has a bad habit of increasing the degree of difficulty for no reason, too, contorting his body for acrobatic reverses as a way to avoid contact and trips to the free-throw line, where he's a 64 percent shooter who succumbs to the occasional airball.

Unlike most species of zooplankton that occupy the all-important base of the marine food web, this sea snail earned its nickname by behaving more like an insect, fluttering its wings from top to bottom and contorting its tiny body to propel itself upward through the water column.

The general sleekness and balanced weight of the Supersonic make it a pleasure to look at and hold, and the magnetic attachments are brilliant—not only are they simple to switch, but you can rotate them precisely to focus air where you want it, rather than contorting your body.

It is something of a curious posture for the leading Democrat in Mr. Trump's home state, and it stands in sharp contrast with the actions of most Democrats nationally, who are contorting themselves to work Mr. Trump's name into practically every speech, fund-raising pitch and news release.

During the last chorus of their performance of "HALA HALA," a high-drama showstopper, the members explode with vivacity — faces contorting from smoldering stares to devilish grins; clapping and kicking to the beat into a climax that ends with them literally miming breaking their own necks before collapsing to the ground.

A scene of two characters waging telekinetic battle over a helicopter is good for some laughs, because a certain A-list actor looks simply ridiculous contorting his face to ever-more-ridiculous extremes; another of a character dropping the world's least convincing F-bomb got loud guffaws from my theater.

"It doesn't seem like anything was actually agreed to at the dinner and White House officials are contorting themselves into pretzels to reconcile Trump's tweets (which seem if not completely fabricated then grossly exaggerated) with reality," one JPMorgan analyst wrote in a note to clients reported by CNBC's Carl Quintanilla.

Something about pouring hot wax on skin in that area and contorting my body in strange positions (I was told I would have to place my leg up on the aesthetician&aposs shoulder), was enough to make me consider alternative bikini hair removal options, like trimming with scissors, tweezing, and depilatories.

Jerry Falwell Jr. shy away from it — even to the point of contorting themselves to defend Mr. Trump's unconscionable response to white-nationalist violence in Charlottesville, Va. Idolatry of class, nation, race and leader is a constant temptation for people of faith, and too many are succumbing to it today.

The centipede nightmare kept me awake for days My right hand reached over to turn on the light, and as my eyes came into focus, there it was: a gigantic house centipede, surely seven or eight inches long as I remember it, its body quickly contorting and squirming across my bare skin.

The most important introduction is to a young girl named Nina, who has a ripe sense of curiosity and a skeleton key that will allow her into any room, which is how Rostov splits his pants while contorting on the balcony as a Bolshevik assembly argues agenda points in the ballroom below.

The bifurcation between "girly girl" interview Gwen and aggro concert Gwen is replicated in the video for "Don't Speak," which intersperses shots of Stefani, barefoot in a '40s polka-dot house dress, wandering around as the band plays in a garage, with footage of her contorting her body onstage to the point of exhaustion.

Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who pushed forcefully to impeach Clinton in the 1990s and used to be an outspoken Trump critic, is now contorting himself to defend the President, rejecting the idea that there's anything at all wrong with Trump asking foreign leaders to help generate dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden.

It's not clinical, exactly, but I feel more moved by the precision and effort put into the performance—Bey's tight vocal pitching, Jay side-stepping this way and that, the dancers contorting themselves like gummy worms, a pared-down reworking of the Beychella brass marching band—than by The Redemptive Love Story being sold by the tour.

With five seconds left, and down North Carolina trailing by three points, the Tar Heels' Marcus Paige hit a deep, contested, double-clutch, body-contorting three-pointer to tie the game: There have been some good endings to National Championships—eternal thanks to Butler and North Carolina State—but none have been as doubly-dramatic as Monday night's.

The images aired Monday night marked the first time that most people had seen the traffic encounter as Ms. Bland had seen it: a close-up view of the face of the state trooper, Brian T. Encinia, contorting in anger as he pulled out a stun gun and shouted at her to get out of the car.

Mr. Pitts, a Brooklyn native who for six years had been dancing with the Batsheva Dance Company, Israel's premier dance troupe, had recently been spending his free time in his black-painted spare room, undulating and contorting his long body to the sound of a spoken-word audio track he had created from his own poetry and other writing.

To say that events are soon upended is to soft-pedal a dramatic strategy that consists of a melee of lies that turn out to be true, alongside the opposite: so much so that the audience is left not so much spinning, as was the case with "The Truth," but chafing at the puppetry of a playwright busily contorting his characters into one self-contradictory posture after another.

There, using the plastered concrete wall of a vacant building as his canvas, he makes fleeting paintings (a shoal of small geometric shapes for the 363 series "School of Fish," a spiral staircase for the 236 work "Principle of Hope"), and invites a performer wearing a mask — oftentimes the dancer Kevin Narain, a collaborator of eight years — to interact with the work, contorting his body to echo its shapes.

"The Missing Door," by Gabriela Carrizo, is a startling dance-theater piece about the moments before a man's death that has the grim look and sense of foreboding of a horror film; Marco Goecke's "Walk the Demon" features dancers twitching and contorting their faces, as if exorcising the titular character; and "Shut Eye" by the troupe's house choreographers Sol León and Paul Lightfoot, in which dancers enter and exit through a central door and get tangled up in front of ghostly projections.
