Saw a modern dance outfit recently. Mesmerising, beautiful. But what I really couldn't get my head round was how the choreographer was able to visualise all that and then communicate it to the dancers. There's just too much going on! Over a dozen dancers doing completely weird and incoherent things with their bodies, yet it all adds up to an astonishing whole. So:
is there some kind of code or notation?
is it a universal notation, like in music, or does each choreographer have their own?
what do you do when completely new and bizarre moves are invented that don't fit the code?
