I took it from the positive side, as an 'deliberate' encouragement ( but maybe I am being naive here ! ). > Saying that choreographers should be forced to work with "original" > music is just like saying that composers must have an original > choreography for each of their compositions. But I don't think there exist any workshops were a composer is expected to bring a choreography ? This could be very interesting ... a choreography on tape (?!), strip the music and compose your own music .... :-0 ??? > I have worked with commissioned music from both sides - having also > composed. But sometimes music is no big deal for me. Oh ... sorry ... it's hard to imagine for me that music can be 'not a big deal' ... > Sure, collaboration can be a rewarding positive experience. > So can eating ice cream. > Doesn't mean I have to eat ice cream in every choreography. I happen to love ice creams AND collaborations :-))!! 'Force' me to eat an icecream and I'll be a better collaborator .... so sometimes forcing can be a good thing after all :-)). But seriously ... in general I just wanted to say that collaborating should be encouraged ( and this I meant in a positive way, not as a 'force' ) at workshops or institutions etc. Cheers, Stan ---------------------------------------- The Dance-Tech mailing list has recently moved to a new address.
