(2015) Dance dramaturgy, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
The term performance generating systems names rule- and task-based dramaturgies that systematically set in motion a self-organising process of dance generation. Asking how such systems work — which aspects actively contribute to generation and how they attract certain forms of behaviour over time — this chapter situates performance generating praxis in relation to task-based creation, examines it through the cognitive framework of Dynamical Systems Theory, and reflects upon the dramaturgical utility and ethical implications of the principles thus revealed.
