Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.50,0:00:01.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As you might imagine, I'm absolutely passionate
Dialogue: 0,0:00:01.99,0:00:04.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about dance. I'm passionate about making it,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.19,0:00:06.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about watching it, about encouraging others
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.80,0:00:08.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to participate in it,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.67,0:00:11.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'm also really passionate about creativity.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.29,0:00:15.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Creativity for me is something that's absolutely critical,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.41,0:00:17.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I think it's something that you can teach.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.79,0:00:20.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think the technicities of creativity can be taught
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.05,0:00:22.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and shared, and I think you can find out things
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.22,0:00:24.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about your own personal physical signature,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.49,0:00:26.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your own cognitive habits, and use that as
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.40,0:00:29.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a point of departure to misbehave beautifully.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.85,0:00:34.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was born in the 1970s, and John Travolta was big
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.26,0:00:36.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in those days: "Grease," "Saturday Night Fever,"
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.73,0:00:39.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he provided a fantastic kind of male role model for me
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.40,0:00:42.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to start dancing. My parents were very up for me going.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.18,0:00:45.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They absolutely encouraged me to take risks, to go,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.04,0:00:49.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to try, to try. I had an opportunity, an access
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.27,0:00:52.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to a local dance studio, and I had an enlightened teacher
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.86,0:00:55.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who allowed me to make up my own and invent
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.97,0:00:58.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my own dances, so what she did was let me make up
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.96,0:01:01.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my own ballroom and Latin American dances to teach
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.91,0:01:03.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to my peers.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.28,0:01:06.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that was the very first time that I found an opportunity
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.05,0:01:08.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to feel that I was able to express my own voice,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.94,0:01:11.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's what's fueled me, then, to become a choreographer.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.75,0:01:14.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I feel like I've got something to say and something to share.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.77,0:01:18.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I guess what's interesting is, is that I am now obsessed
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.35,0:01:19.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the technology of the body.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.93,0:01:23.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think it's the most technologically literate thing that we have,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.23,0:01:26.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'm absolutely obsessed with finding a way
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.33,0:01:29.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of communicating ideas through the body to audiences
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.63,0:01:31.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that might move them, touch them,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.78,0:01:34.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,help them think differently about things.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.88,0:01:37.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So for me, choreography is very much a process
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.48,0:01:40.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of physical thinking. It's very much in mind,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.89,0:01:44.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as well as in body, and it's a collaborative process.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.16,0:01:45.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's something that I have to do with other people.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.98,0:01:48.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, it's a distributed cognitive process in a way.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.74,0:01:51.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I work often with designers and visual artists,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.33,0:01:53.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,obviously dancers and other choreographers,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.94,0:01:58.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also, more and more, with economists,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.31,0:02:02.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,anthropologists, neuroscientists, cognitive scientists,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.62,0:02:05.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people really who come from very different domains of
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.38,0:02:08.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,expertise, where they bring their intelligence to bear
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.38,0:02:10.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on a different kind of creative process.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.77,0:02:13.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What I thought we would do today a little bit is
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.97,0:02:16.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,explore this idea of physical thinking,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.23,0:02:18.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we're all experts in physical thinking.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.03,0:02:19.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah, you all have a body, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.41,0:02:21.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we all know what that body is like in the real world,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.60,0:02:23.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so one of the aspects of physical thinking
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.29,0:02:26.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we think about a lot is this notion of proprioception,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.21,0:02:29.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the sense of my own body in the space in the real world.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.27,0:02:32.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we all understand what it feels like to know
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.66,0:02:34.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where the ends of your fingers are
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.01,0:02:36.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when you hold out your arms, yeah?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.01,0:02:38.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You absolutely know that when you're going to grab a cup,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.82,0:02:40.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or that cup moves and you have to renavigate it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.73,0:02:42.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we're experts in physical thinking already.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.69,0:02:44.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We just don't think about our bodies very much.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.73,0:02:47.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We only think about them when they go wrong, so, when
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.83,0:02:50.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's a broken arm, or when you have a heart attack,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.07,0:02:52.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then you become really very aware of your bodies.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.54,0:02:54.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But how is it that we can start to think about using
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.82,0:02:58.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,choreographic thinking, kinesthetic intelligence, to arm
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.23,0:03:00.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the ways in which we think about things more generally?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.59,0:03:03.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What I thought I'd do is, I'd make a TED premiere.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.54,0:03:05.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm not sure if this is going to be good or not.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.85,0:03:07.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'll just be doing it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.82,0:03:09.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought what I'd do is, I'd use three versions
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.91,0:03:11.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of physical thinking to make something.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.55,0:03:14.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I want to introduce you. This is Paolo. This is Catarina.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.67,0:03:17.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.52,0:03:20.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They have no idea what we're going to do.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.12,0:03:22.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is not the type of choreography where
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.47,0:03:24.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I already have in mind what I'm going to make,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.81,0:03:27.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where I've fixed the routine in my head
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.35,0:03:28.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'm just going to teach it to them,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.94,0:03:31.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and these so-called empty vessels are just going to learn it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.25,0:03:34.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's not the methodology at all that we work with.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.18,0:03:38.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what's important about it is how it is that they're
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.52,0:03:40.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,grasping information, how they're taking information,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.56,0:03:42.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how they're using it, and how they're thinking with it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.70,0:03:44.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm going to start really, really simply.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.14,0:03:47.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Usually, dance has a stimulus or stimuli, and I thought
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.12,0:03:50.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'd take something simple, TED logo, we can all see it,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.22,0:03:52.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's quite easy to work with, and I'm going to do something
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.57,0:03:55.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very simply, where you take one idea from a body,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.36,0:03:57.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it happens to be my body, and translate that
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.37,0:03:59.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into somebody else's body,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.56,0:04:02.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so it's a direct transfer, transformation of energy.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.91,0:04:05.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'm going to imagine this, you can do this too if you like,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.69,0:04:07.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I'm going to just take the letter "T" and I'm going
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.93,0:04:10.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to imagine it in mind, and I'm going to place that outside in
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.80,0:04:14.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the real world. So I absolutely see a letter "T" in front of me.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.71,0:04:16.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah? It's absolutely there.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.11,0:04:19.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can absolutely walk around it when I see it, yeah?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.09,0:04:21.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It has a kind of a grammar. I know what I'm going to do
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.02,0:04:23.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with it, and I can start to describe it, so I can describe it
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.95,0:04:26.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very simply. I can describe it in my arms, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.92,0:04:29.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So all I did was take my hand and then I move my hand.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.60,0:04:31.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can describe it, whoa, in my head, you know? Whoa.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.79,0:04:34.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay. I can do also my shoulder. Yeah?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.10,0:04:37.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It gives me something to do, something to work towards.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.11,0:04:39.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If I were to take that letter "T" and flatten it down
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.22,0:04:42.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the floor, here, maybe just off the floor,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.16,0:04:43.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all of a sudden I could do maybe something with my knee,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.63,0:04:46.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,yeah? Whoa. So If I put the knee and the arms together,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.18,0:04:49.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've got something physical, yeah? And I can start to build something.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.74,0:04:52.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what I'm going to do just for one and a half minutes or so
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.20,0:04:54.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is I'm going to take that concept, I'm going to make something,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.80,0:04:57.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the dancers behind me are going to interpret it,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.68,0:04:59.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're going to snapshot it, they're going to take
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.33,0:05:02.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,aspects of it, and it's almost like I'm offloading memory
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.31,0:05:04.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they're holding onto memory? Yeah?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.42,0:05:05.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we'll see what we come up with.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.83,0:05:07.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So just have a little watch about how they're, how they're
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.98,0:05:09.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,accessing this and what they're doing,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.29,0:05:11.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'm just going to take this letter "T," the letter "E,"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.25,0:05:14.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the letter "D," to make something. Okay. Here goes.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.28,0:05:17.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I have to get myself in the zone. Right.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.88,0:05:34.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a bit of a cross of my arm.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.44,0:05:45.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So all I'm doing is exploring this space of "T"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.09,0:05:50.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and flashing through it with some action.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.40,0:05:52.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm not remembering what I'm doing.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.81,0:05:55.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm just working on my task. My task is this "T."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.57,0:05:59.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Going to watch it from the side, whoa.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.95,0:06:02.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Strike moment.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.82,0:06:06.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's it.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.79,0:06:12.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we're starting to build a phrase.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.13,0:06:14.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what they're doing, let's see, something like that,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.08,0:06:17.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so what they're doing is grasping aspects of that movement
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.23,0:06:19.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they're generating it into a phrase.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.14,0:06:21.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can see the speed is extremely quick, yeah?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.39,0:06:23.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm not asking them to copy exactly.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.68,0:06:26.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're using the information that they receive
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.04,0:06:29.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to generate the beginnings of a phrase.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.36,0:06:31.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can watch that and that can tell me something
