		The author argues that whilst many dancers have found the technique invaluable in therapeutic and other complementary, corrective ways the full benefit of the technique for dance will not be gained by ignoring the founder's insistence that it is neither a therapy nor contained by the term 'body'.
		To do so it must be integral to dance technique, choreographic method and performance and made central to the life of the performer.
		The article concludes that it is vital that companies and schools engage the help of qualified and informed teachers of the Alexander Technique to enable dancers to tackle their fundamental manner of use in all activity including dance class.

	Copyright of Choreographic Works
		Although numerous choreographers have registered their copyrights in the past fifteen years under the new Copyright Law, (3) to date only one case for the infringement of a copyrighted choreographic work has reached the Federal courts.
		Further, plots in themselves, apart from the movement, might not be considered part of a "choreographic work." Agnes de Mille has rejected the view that originality in a choreographic work could ever be contributed by the story, because of her insistence that choreography "is a separate art" from drama or story-telling.
		Choreographers, she notes, "typically create their works on the dance floor by directing the movements of their dancers." (89) Few choreographers or dancers read or write notation, as she observes, and it is certainly true that notation, film, and video all cost money.

	Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company - Blind Date
		This is an era when actual modern dance technique and choreographic innovation is being subsumed by video, by theatrical effects, by narrative and hip hop and by, believe it or not, ballet.
		The original revolution that was modern dance is now a century old and what remains to be said is, perhaps, unsayable: that the unique and original possibilities of movement are still as vast and uncharted as those of the human body, as those of the beholder, of movement and the eye.
		All the bells and whistles were there, video screens and theatrical effects galore—the flats and set-pieces of old-school ballet have been replaced by software-generated presentation that allows for a 7-ring circus of images.
