Again, a small mistake creates big misunderstandings.
What I meant actually that I didn't see the NEED of using the technology. 
The structures that were created through Choreograph and the dancers could 
also have been choreographed. I missed the play between the dancers and the 
system, I didn't see (or felt) it working as an amplifier.
