Hear the dance, see the music.

I was sitting in the train today and I realized something interesting.  All works of any note today and yesterday were created and set in a locked choreography.  Well tomorrow I don't see this happening any more.  Works of the dance can be fully structured and choreographed, yet not bound by set steps.  It's one thing to demand a certain amount of out of a technician, but quite another to take command of an other's movements.  This may seem avant-guarde, but what if dancers were selected on their technique, and shape, but were allowed to speak the language that they worked so hard to create.
