This little dance

I'm thinking about choreography vs. improvisation for this particular project- keeping in mind this little dances scope, people involved, and my own mind availability.   Here is an interesting look on the subject, in the medium of tango.  He says "I dance on the level of instincts." and "Improvisation is a baby of intuition, choreography- artistic logic. "

He also says rehearsed does not mean choreographed.  Choreographed is making a dance.  This was a little big moment for me- setting something, calling it choreographed, and then not rehearsing it, still may be in the level of innovation, and improvising choreographed movements. hmmm. Need to think on that. 

For fun look at a conversation on pole dancing choreography vs. improvisation.

Interesting mini conversation on complexity theory, and it's connection (or call for a dance specific recreation of one) to dance.

Still not sure where I'm going today.
