Frame and wait
I find that the most effective way in which I can establish the logics and Intentions of my work, is by framing the process clearly and efficiently, and then letting the dancers create their own content within that.
I feel that trying to come up with and control the content of a choreography, from an external position hedicaps the creative process and disempower the dancers, by limiting them to only being vehicles for someone else's ideas, thoughts and vision.
Frame the situation clearly, lean back, observe and wait.
