Their art form already feels distant to some audiences. Do choreographers just make things worse by coming up with obscure names for their shows?
Why does it matter? It’s the choreographer’s prerogative, of course, but in an art form that already feels distant and unreadable to some audiences, being wilfully abstruse in your labelling doesn’t exactly help. As Lyn Gardner noted recently, it can feel as though artists are attempting to prove their cleverness and exclusivity when jargon actually functions as a barrier rather than an invitation.
