The soliton model of interacting quarks and gluons, introduced by Friedberg and Lee, effects both spatial and color confinement of the constituents. The properties of the static bag have been reported previously. Because the model is described by a complete Hamiltonian, the dynamics of the system can be followed unambiguously. For this purpose, we employ theoretical methods which have proved effective in the study of nuclear collective motion, heavy ion collisions, and fission. We consider three levels of approximation to bag dynamics: First, the normal modes of excitation of the quarks and of the soliton field are considered. At the second level of approximation, the interaction between quark and soliton modes is calculated for small amplitude oscillations. At the third level, large scale deformations such as bag collisions, e.g. N-N scattering is studied. (WHK)
