space dance

with recent reports (admittedly not cited here) that the majority of cultural event attenders attend for the social experience associated, i have been considering the typical form of dance presentation. if people go to art to be social, should we cater to that? do we need to force people into a seat in a theater for them to get it?

i've been thinking about artists who are playing with this idea and altering the way they choose to "offer"(?) art to their audiences.

john jasperse's recent work prone jumps out.

a friend also pointed me to tokyo space dance who did a workshop at mit a few years back. (too bad i missed them.)
