Most contemporary choreography is lousy

I hate most contemporary choreography. It's pretentious claptrap. Is there good contemporary stuff?

Sure, but very little.

It's like modern art, where a museum will pay thousands of dollars for a rock. Not a sculpted rock. A rock.

I could choreograph a piece where one dancer (wouldn't even have to be a dancer), stands in the middle of the stage and doesn't move, while dancers dance around them, and say, "It's about the futility of most human existence." People would say, "Wow, that's deep!"

No, it's not, it's a con job. It's bull.

And there are choreographers who are paid gobs of money and travel the world, who do this garbage.

Now, I'm not a great choreographer by any stretch of the imagination, but if I didn't have any integrity, I could create pieces like the one I described, and probably make a fortune. However, I like to be able to look at myself in the mirror, and know I'm honest.

See you in class.
