A self-authoring dancer, to whom the choreographer leaves more creative space than in the past.
The contemporary choreographer often delegates the creation of choreographic phrases to the dancer, who personally mixes and reproduces them into a given context and space.
To do this, improvisation turns out as an indispensable tool for the choreographic creation, a technique allowing the dancer to listen his own body and the environment, a real expression of natural movement.
As dancer becomes author of himself, he is stimulated to affirm the 'solo', a place where the dancer has the chance to stage his unique creation. Improvisation is not only used for compositional purposes.
