I like the idea of pure perception. When I spoke with Katherine Himes she talked to me about "pattern seeking." That perception is about seeking out familiar patterns. Things get interesting when a familiar pattern begins and then the mind fills in what it expects to be the 'blanks.' I asked Katherine what her best guess was about why people often say they don't get contermporary dance. She thought that perhaps it was because there were no familiar patterns on view and that blocked their ability to engage or feel comfortable. Gotta get dressed...
