ABSTRACT
Everyone is consciously and unconsciously choreographed, by culture, gender, locale, politics, race, job, history, and so on. This chapter conveys the author's practice of performance brought to an understanding of my work. He performed a Lecture on the Performance of Beauty at the Montpellier Festival of Dance. The dance would often drag soon after all six performers were wrestling their appropriated phantom. It stopped being interesting very quickly. One dancer was to step up to the solo that would keep the struggle going as the rest of the cast stopped wrestling and circled the stage. No one could recognize who had begun the solo because everyone was wrestling. In a sole uniform move, the dancers face the audience, bringing their arms to their sides. Whoever is furthest stage left performs an inconspicuously dazzling dance in a blurry space, highlighted by and in contrast to the stillness of the group.
