Dead rep

In dance and choreography, the concept and practice of repertoire, in the case of dead choreographers, is a form of artistic cannibalism.

Usually fueled by commercial and political interests, always taking the aroma of some sort of touristic artifact.

There is no real dance making, without the presence of the choreographer and in the absence of a direct interaction between choreographer and dancers.

The art of choreography isn’t about movements. That would be like claiming cooking is about the recepie and has nothing to do with the chef.
