technique and documenting

"i refuse to subject my body to a practice that subjects my body" - my cranky response to ballet as the technique lens that seems to be the only one.

documenting: do we hold on to/catalog all our stuff? (jim belushi's old tennis shoes sold at auction) or do we create alternative methods for revealing our histories? i could show a clip of a dance i made in the 70's, but what is more interesting (to me) is talking about it because i can frame it in how i understood how that led to here. isadora duncan - there is no footage, well there is a fragment through a hedge that we can't even be sure is her. and yet the dancers are reconstructed.... more later
