I'm taking the approach of exploring the spirit of the Fool -- challenging our assumptions and traditions and reminding us to smile, in spite of ourselves if necessary. In choosing/crafting my program, I'm looking for a balance of different and fun, of course. What foolish dances have you done in the past? Timothy Knoxville, TN P.S. Here's my "concept" list: * Reverse progression ("which way is up?") * Contra mixer ("who needs a partner?") * Left/Lark chain ("why do Robins chain and Larks allemand?") * 3 face 3 formations ("what's a partner?") * Crooked tunes ("why is everything 64 beats?) * No swing ("how far can I go before the dancers burn me at the stake?")
