Sinopsis

Performance generating systems are systematic and task-based dramaturgies that generate performance for or with an audience. In dance, such systems differ in ways that matter from more closed choreographed scores and more open forms of structured improvisation. Dancers performing within these systems draw on predefined and limited sources, while working on specific tasks within constraining rules. The generating components of the systems provide boundaries that enable the performance to self-organize into shifting patterns, instead of becoming either repetitive or chaotic. The patterns that emerge and the transitions they go through tend to develop iteratively over multiple performances. Every performance is slightly different, and change does occur, though it tends to emerge indirectly and in relation to co-performers and environments, rather than as an expression of individual or choreographic intentions.
