Wouldn't a series of stillness captures come off as "poses", and isn't this explored often in choreography? I don't think that you could achieve a sense of rhythm without movement, unless you edited together the various poses, and the editing had its own rhythm. In thinking about this, it totally depends on what the outcome is that you want. Is this a scientific study (meant to be art) or is it a choreography that you're discussing here. Is this that different than Paul Taylor's chair solo, where he sat in silence and didn't move, and then the N.Y. Times review of the piece was a blank article?
