RE: Dance and Language (2)

I'm often asked to describe what I create. Dance? Dance theatre? Movement theatre? Physical theatre? Butoh? Contemporary? It's been a while since 'tanztheatre'emerged in Germany (or identified). The definition seems to be the mixture of 'dance and dramatic element'. So in a loose term, my work can be called 'dance theatre'. It has abstract movements. It often has characters. It has other design elements such as props and set segments. But they don't speak most of the time. It  seems that from some dancers' point of view, it is  'movement theatre' since there seems to be a category defined by dancers (here I mean dancers in a traditional sense -?). So ultimately, it comes down to the question, 'what is dance?' ' what is theatre?'
