rules

Every piece has rules.  Here are some for more:

1. Actions take the time they require.
   
2. Dancers don’t conceal or exaggerate effort.
3. Actions do not begin and end with the music.
4. Everything in the space is brought in and out by the dancers.
5. Everything goes away: phrases end without warning, props disappear, worlds are created then abandoned.
6. Individual phrases don’t vary dynamically.  Variation comes from the juxtaposition of simultaneous, stripped down actions.
7. Bodies don’t soften when they meet.  They crash.
