Dancers, do not automatically obey choreographers.
Authority, like trust, should be earned. Let them sweat at convincing you their proposition is of value for you. You are many, they are few. Learn your worth and power.
Your time, energy, work, effort, creativity and sweat should be rightfully earned. By choreographers. Not the other way around.
It’s choreographers that are mainly at test. It’s choreographers that are continuously being auditioned. By dancers.
Reverse the pyramid.
Expose the crooks. The opportunists. The talentless. The power driven. The psychopathes, the sadistic. The manipulative and exploitative.
Emancipate yourself.
No choreographers, if no dancers. Don’t forget.
This goes beyond dance, but dance is a great place to start.
