Some further thoughts...

Dear reader,
This blog has only been up a few weeks, and already we are receiving many thoughtful responses and questions. Here are some things to keep in mind about our motives for creating Third Generation Festival:

1. The scores contained in this blog are only examples. We in no way intend to limit the medium and/or method by which information is contained and compiled. We are interested in examining the score as its own document, and point of view.

2. Third Generation Performers will be assigned a score to realize at the discretion of the festival Curators. The three of the creative sources (Choreographer of Original Work, Score Author, and Third Generation Performer) will operate independently of one another. The Festival will be an opportunity to bring all three together and engage in dialogue.

3. We created Third Generation to spark something new, different, and even (perhaps) controversial. We understand that by using Original Work as the inspiration for Third Generation Performances, we are touching on issues of intellectual property. We hope to make clear that the intention is not to "replicate" an original work, but to re-examine it through an experimental process. All due credit will be given for the ideas presented at Third Generation.

4. We look forward to shaping the festival around the submissions we receive. Thanks in advance for your adventurous spirits.
