The William Forsythe Improvisation Technologies video series offers a fresh perspective on movement, improvisation and the intersections of dance and technology. The videos can best be described as an introduction to improvisation for dummies (beginners). Even as a non-beginner it is helpful to review the movement tools and techniques from the video with the useful and helpful graphics that clearly illustrate the techniques and objectives. Sometimes in classes it can be difficult to determine exactly what someone is doing movement wise and the movement can be mistaken for not having any clear objective, however these videos provide an alternative perspective.
At the moment I am unsure how these videos influence my own work concerning technology but I was reminded of how simple choreography and movement generation can be. Sometimes I think it is necessary to reminded of the basics.
