"Pietsch constructed two irregular, derelict screens divided by a gap. Dennis Greenwood and Gaby Agis would enter, exit and pause slowly to imprint their silhouettes. Butcher saw one imprint and sometimes superimposing itself on another and replacing it, creating the effect of one person repeatedly slipping away from the other. At one performance, Agis's body pressed against the back wall between the screens, one arm raised; Greenwood was alongside her, his head bent into her neck, producing an image of intense vulnerability."

One of Butcher's most original, complex and profound works, It was inspired by a trip to an Iron Age fort on the Castle Drogo estate in Devon. It was also her second collaboration with German visual artist Heinz Deiter Pietish. Working within the area defined by the pressed Papier Maché "U" shaped floor installation (he was to use Peat in a similar form in a revival at the Retrospective some thirteen years later.) with tubes of white light brightening and dimming, the dancers moved, placed themselves compositionally through the most pared down of movement. The work itself was developed in the studio using the terminology of archaeological digs as instructions to improvisation with the dancers, Malcolm Clark's bleak electronic sound, responding to the concept and the movement, contributed a profound sense of time and space to the work.

Spaces 4 was the first of six collaborations with Heinz Deiter Pietsch. These collaborations were to provide some of the most original and successful of her works. For this piece Pietsch was to provide low right-angled fragments, panted white, defining four distinct spaces around and through which the dancers moved. The work stood as a dialogue between movement and construction. Performed in silence it was perhaps far nearer to Performance Art than to contemporary UK dance as it was then understood.

The work was the second collaboration with composer Michael Nyman and the last collaboration with Dieter Pietsch. Premiered in the Whitechapel Gallery then under the curation of Nicholas Serota (who was later to become the director of the Tate Britain and Tate Modern), it was from the first performance a huge success with both audiences and critics subsequently touring Art Galleries throughout the U.K. Disappointingly it was poorly interpreted by BBC television in a Dance Makers film, failing to capture its special ethereal quality. The opportunity of engaging a wider audience for the work was thus lost.
