When the exploration in dance and technology goes beyond the stage it is not traditional top-down choreography, it becomes an improvisation. Dance 2.0 might include a bottom-up architecture of marketing and communication. Many artists have already used this bottom-up approach to build and perform works.
We swim in improvisational media and we will be continually reformulating "creation".
We are coming out as "polytheistic" therefore we sample. Oblivious of our remixing and recombining we "build/create"...and repack as"style" or "artist voice".
Here are some links to some main stream (very important to aware of) articles about the dance world (companies and presenters) exploring the WWW:
Misnomer's article in Dance Magazine
Recent New York Times's article
Conference in Los Angeles on technology and marketing organized by Dance USA
Improvisational/generative media and performances are 2.0
These might be the "Future of Dance"
bottom-up architectures
shared creation
Ashley Friend created a relevant integration for her performance at Joyce Soho. She asked her You Tube account to make a video about dance and help her to find the meaning of dance. She got many video responses and used them as video material for the video segments and movement explorations.

In the next video shows Ashley "crowdsourcing"...completing a mediation loop
In the performance that attendded, 3 members of the audience (You Tubers) have travelled to NYC to attend the performance and watch.
This experiment was not registered in the radar of Julie Bloom from the New York Times nor by the Dance Magazine collaborator.
Portable, affordable, pervasive, open source...composite and extensible
Bottom-up indeed
