MODE05

Hi, here I send you a text I have written on creative processes. These thoughts are connected with the creation of three dance production the Trilogy X,Y and Z. There was so many thoughts coming out of this work that I decided to make a book this text is the starting point. If this book will ever be published I do not really know but the thoughts are somehow there to be shared.

There is no ideal dance. There are rather movements and actions, some of them habitual or everyday, others carefully chosen-for or acrobatic.
There is no ideal choreography. There are rather individual processes of choice making.
There is no ideal school. There are rather varying desires, needs and instigations for learning.

I just want to throw in a reference that I came across not too long ago. It’s a publication titled Artistic Research (Annette W. Balkema & Henk Slager (Eds.), Amsterdam & New York 2004, Lier en Boog Series of Philosophy of Art and Art Theory Vol. 18). Somehow it was hard to get it in Germany.
