The topic of the dancer as author is one that I relate to but often find very difficult to express succinctly in words. When asked to describe the process of creating/re-creating myself on stage in various characters, voices and physicalities I usually end up giving an answer to the effect of "uhhh ... it just sort of happens." But upon reflecting on the topic, I discovered that my ability as a dancer to create is directly connected to that million-dollar question of "Why do I dance at all?"

The following is a collection of confused and contradictory thoughts on a subject of absurd complexity. No effort is made to bushwhack for the reader. I offer instead doubted credos, semi-aphorisms, and aborted theses. This may be the most precise definition we can offer at present of Contemporary Ballet Technique.

I was asked to write an article about improvisation. This is it. A little explanation before you start reading. If you click on the links in this article you will come to my web-blog, which has some music. Click on the photo to hear the music. One warning: if you don't listen to the music you will never understand why I like to improvise. Have fun!
