Dear Samara,

I'm glad to see that people are still making work with LifeForms. Here in 
The Netherlands most of the choreographers are thinking that it is an 
oldfashion tool. In my opinion The tool isn't yet explored enough to make 
such a statement.

Your choreography is a clearly defined piece of work. My question is while 
working with LifeForms too: Why trying to make it as realistic as possible, 
especially using the models looking like dancers? I'm wondering what can we 
do with choreography else then working with "dancers"? But that is of course 
a very personal point of view and doesn't really relate to your work.

keep ongoing,

Annelie David
