In message <84.265a4ba6.29e36fc4@aol.com>, Imageimage@aol.com writes Imageimage what do you mean by silly? what I presented was the definition of gesture in terms of dance composition, maybe I have mis-read my header which says DANCE - tech. maybe those that can dance and those that can't write a least 5000 words about it not including bibliography and references. You haven't really added anything to the post so please enlighten us with a "more appropriate and not as limited " definition of a gesture. maybe you can do it * using simple low-tech words*. *http://dancetechnology.com/dancetechnology/archive/2001/0050.html* Also I thought it was polite to identify yourself at the end of correspondence .
