Michael Klein and Jeffrey Gormly, What is Choreography

Choreonauts are bodies moving in time and space, witnessing, framing, interfering with and negotiating dynamic constellations of which they themselves are also a part, even if only by virtue of their role as observers. Choreonauts rely on creative intuition to dissolve dualities of subject and object, and resolve multiply-framed partial images of a systemic whole (which is unknowable by we subjects) into working hypotheses we may call choreographies of thought or action.

choreonautics is being both dancer, dance and choreographer at one same time, or in a fluid continuum…

Matter is a stage: Energy body.
Events happen through me,
Acting reality.

Choreonauts operate in a context of communication, not power and dance across a topography of networks and relations. Communication is key: it is a fundamental of economics, creativity, politics and play. It is a basis for any construction of reality that desires corroboration. It is a dynamic at heart of perception, organisation and negotiation of worldviews.

Choreonauts integrate roles of shaman/king/priest/politician and other/savage/scapegoat/animal into self as shaManimal and move beyond representation into a domain of pure performance
