Programmes

In dance in particular the written word is often used as a pre-text, it
describes what the choreographer wants to illustrate, to express or pass on. Some people read it, others don't, in any case it is the link to a piece of work which is of a completely different nature. The choreographer is not always the author of this preamble; a programmer, journalist or another artist may have written it. In accepting this step of communication, announcement, and publicity of his or her show, the choreographer confers two dimensions to his work.

Statement:

Onstage, the choreographers read various programmes coming from different venues announcing performances programmed in the ongoing season or the season to come.
The audience has been given the programme of any given performance being shown during the ongoing season.
