Movement (as in, human action) is information. It is data. Dancers’ movements are an accumulation of singular real time signals, a feedback loop to be analyzed in order to adjust the choreographic thing through continuous iteration. When movements/actions are centrally generated and organized by one person and then used as second hand content to be executed by other people, choreography ceases to be. When dancers dont have full access and control over the generation and use of their movements (or more broadly, their actions following autonomous decision making) the entire thing is muted, there is no signal, no feedback loop, there is nothing to observe, study and adjust, there is only the external apparence of choreography produced by a de facto tyrannical system.

Choreography is the process of laying the foundations and conditions, which facilitate voluntary collaboration leading to self organizing, emergent choreographic structures and events.
