RIGOR WITHOUT VIRTUOSITY

RIGOR WITHOUT VIRTUOSITY

Virtuosity is not limited to:

• technical excess;
• difficult steps;
• spectacle;
• institutional dance vocabulary.

Rigor may be located in:

• timing;
• consistency;
• attention;
• decision-making;
• duration;
• relation;
• cultural knowledge;
• collective organisation.

A simple movement can require complex practice.
