Ibidem, pág. 39, 40¨ Dance, ostensibly that most nakedly corporeal of all performance
forms. Has similarly been conceptualized as a continually evolving technological praxis.The
dancer Loíe Fuller provide an interesting example, undertaking some extraordinary
experiments from 1889 with the then new technology of electricity. (T.A)

¨I like to produce movement that seems out of range, to enlarge the range and add things to
other
movement can be. The computer has opened it up to me. It has broadened what I think of
as possible in dance¨(Traducción del autor).

Merce Cunningham in conversation with John Rockwell (en línea) Disponible en
http://prelectur.stanford.edu/lecturers/cunningham/, (Consulta 18 abril 2011). ¨When I
choreograph a piece by tossing pennies by chance, that is I am finding my resources
in that play, which is not the product of my will, but which is an energy and a law which I
too obey. Some people seem to think that it is inhuman and mechanistic to toss pennies
in creating a dance instead of chewing the nails or beating the head against a wall or
thumbing through old notebooks for ideas. But the feeling I have when I compose in this
way is that I am in touch with a natural resource far greater than my own personal
inventiveness could ever be, much more universally human than the particular habits of
my own practice, and organically rising out of common pools of motor
impulses.¨(Traducción del autor).
