The Story
Where Choreography comes from — and where it lives now.
Compose with bodies. Concept, musicality, formations and direction — become the person who makes the piece.
Choreography as a distinct discipline — the composition of movement, as opposed to its performance — was named and studied in the 18th century by writers such as Jean-Georges Noverre, whose 'ballet d'action' first argued that dance should tell a story through movement itself, not just decorate a text.
