"[O]n his 1999 "Improvisation Technologies" CD-ROM, Forsythe provides a hands-on guide to the approach he uses to create different types of movements. His methodology is grounded in using geometric shapes such as points, lines and three-dimensional forms to help dancers develop their own improvisational practice. And each of the video explanations includes overlain animated graphics to help dancers visualize each example.
Here are two video examples that provide a glimpse into Forsythe's methodology. The first video illustrates how to create arm movements by extruding lines from points" Great Dance
