Katrin. Just got around to reading your e mail today. I must admit that I know very little about dance even though I have observed ballet and modern dance events many times. In my discussions of persuasive leaders in executive training, I have mentioned the importance of their body movements and have used some examples of leaders in film clips who had such very engaging movements. By the way, I believe that choreography is also used as a term in the design of computer interactive systems to map out the interactions required of sellers, buyers, and other interacting entities. As in dance they have developed a notation system that communicates the sequence of steps that have to be followed and the nature of these interactions.I'm sure somebody on this site knows a lot more than I do about this. My impression of a choregrapher is one who creates dance events using creative dance movements for dancers in a dance company which he or she might have created. It seems to me that this is just another type of management and organizational building activity. An organization must be created with a mission related to producing performances which are marketed and which present the creative artistic productions. As in any organization disparate elements must be coordinated and/or integrated- movements, music, scenery, lighting,etc. In doing this many problems occur as they do in all organizations- e.g. the individual performers do not have suficient skills to implement the creative designs -(I have seen student dancers fall in university productions- I have seen musical problems and inadequacies) With respect to the unique possible contribution of choreography to organizational design I would guess that there are special insights and techniques in choreography which could possibly correct or alleviate some present weaknesses or deficiencies in organizational design and operations. However, given my ignorance of dance, I would not know what these are.I'm sure other AACORN members would have some insights into what some of these might be.

Originally I wanted to already share my thoughts behind this theme with you in this email, but I am afraid that this would point you already in a certain direction. As I am just beginning to think about this, I want to be open for as many directions as this could lead to. Thus, thank you for your reply in any possible way. I will try to collect all mails and bring things together to share them with you later, if you’re interested. I would also be very happy to know, who of you is interested in “choreography/dance” related topics in general. I am looking forward to your responses! Thanks so much Katrin
