Hello Jeff,
Yeah, no matter where you go...there you are. It is kind of fun to 
continually challenge myself to describe what I do in different terms 
to see what turns the lights on for people. And different people 
respond to different descriptions. I love "experience designer". 
Generally, I am still quite fond of choreographer. Which still has 
people asking what the hell is that. Which leads to "modern" dance 
which isn't exactly what I do...oh words are so complicated:)

I don't think we are a movement because of our vast diversity in 
style and aesthetics. We could be a toolment.

Dawn
