From scale, to Core Values

Like any other system of organization, choreography is scale related.

A model of choreographic organization, which works perfectly well with three dancers, won’t necessarily work as good, with ten dancers. There’s a need to constantly re-examine the choreographic model, the system, the tasks, the rules, the process etc, in relation to the scale, as in, the size of the group carrying out the choreography.

If you play one on one basketball, you do not play it in the same way you’d play three on three, or five on five, even though it is essentially the same game.

Some aspects though, are a fix. They do not really change when the scale changes. These are a sort of core values, which are clearly identifiable over time and attempts. Figuring these, is figuring out what one’s core values are in general.
