Whenever choreographers claim they want to chalenge and reconsider the existing means and forms of performance and presentation, it usually means they are un able to choreograph. When you have no idea how to play the game, you turn the table over.
Shout out to the godfather of talentless wannabe artists, Mr Duchamps…
Art making is a craft. It requires proof of work, talent and competence, in order to generate value. That doesn’t mean art isn’t constantly evolving and that innovation isn’t fundamental to the artistic process, it just means that there’s no possibility for valuable art making outside of the premise of what art making IS. And this, the premise itself of art, isn’t negotiable.
Sadly, choreography is one of those art forms, where a choreographer can be utterly incompetent and still be successful for many years before it is being noticed.
