Choreography is a framework, an operating system. The way in which it is configured, will not only determine dancers’ actions, but it is also the core element governing the choreography’s capacity for value creation

In complex systems, initial conditions have outsized consequences.

Man made systems (which is what choreography is inherently) are either centralized or they are decentralized.

Central planning and Micro management of the choreographic thing, will produce simplistic results by default and therefore, limited value creation.

The delegation of decision making all the way down to the level of each individual dancer, allowing for agency and autonomy as dancers acknowledge and accept choreographic responsibility, is the best manner to achieve a functioning complex choreographic situation while maximizing the transformation of dancers’ actions into artistic value.

The second option, requires a total shift in the understanding of the choreographer’s role and what art making is when it comes to choreography.
