Good luck with your performances Peter, sorry we can't see them. Let 
us know how Isadora holds up.

And I have noticed in two different posts to this list the use of the 
term "intermedia" which I like a lot. Interesting. We have been 
thinking about using the term 'hybrid" again after struggling with 
the slash arts (dance/theater/media) for some years now. Are all the 
different names we use to describe what we make confusing to people? 
I am wondering if any on this list consider ourselves to be a 
movement? (I know that isn't really a proper sentence) A group of 
like minded folks? Do we have enough in common to "name" ourselves? 
Or is that supposed to come from someone outside the group? It's like 
the writer (who I forget now) that wrote about the Judson Dance 
Theater and maybe was the first to call them post-modern dancers and 
really talk about their processes and theories. Of course, following 
the previous posts about writing maybe we better not wait for an 
interested art writer to come along. We might be dead before that. 
Just a thought. Has this topic already been thrashed about and I 
missed it? If so, sorry to bring it up again.

Dawn
