Abstract: | William Forsythe's research into ways of engendering and organising movement has led him to pursue counterpoint, proprioperception, entrainment, and authenticity for organisational principles that also allow improvisation. Artistic director and choreographer of the Ballett Frankfurt, and himself trained in ballet, Forsythe shows an appreciation of and often a critical engagement with classical dance, transforming and revitalising it. When he works collaboratively, Forsythe challenges the traditional distinction between choreographer and dancer, thus questioning hierarchy, authorship, and disciplinary boundaries. |
