 'Improvisation technologies', originally intended for the professional use of the dancers of the Frankfurt Ballet, for the first time offers the opportunity to gain a different and unique access to the work of a major contemporary choreographer. The CD-ROM is made up of lecture demonstrations in which William Forsythe shows the essential principles of his improvisation techniques. Dance sequences, performed specially by Frankfurt Ballet members Christine Bürkle, Noah D. Gelber, Thomas McManus and Crystal Pite, can be called up as further illustrations. Also included is a document of improvisation in practice, 'Solo'. The booklet features an interview with William Forsythe and an essay by dance critic Roslyn Sulcas, as well as the transcripts of Forsythe's lectures from the CD-ROM.
