a few notes on hyperchoreography whilst i write a paper on the subject.

hyperchoreography is NOT:

• dance 'hypertext'
• interactive
• 'open'
• non-linear
• collaborative

hyperchoreography is:

• linear
• reactive
• hypermedia
• intertextual
• generative

i do not consider hyperchoreography (in it's present state) is a 'new' mode of choreographic practice, but a relocation of existing constructs. the use of hypermedia does not make it novel or sufficiently different to warrant a new category.

however, the notion of hyperchoreography is valid, and properly contextualised and developed along the 'true' concept of hypertext will present a radically new way of exploring choreographic practice.
