In dance, counterpoint is the relationship
between two or more dancers that are independent
in movement and dynamics but they
are kinetically interdependent. In its most general
aspect, counterpoint involves the dancing of
movement phrases that look different and move
independently from each other but look harmonious
when shown simultaneously.

Could it be conceivable that
the ideas now seen as bound
to a sentient expression are
indeed able to exist in another
durable, intelligible state?
(William Forsythe, Choreographic Objects)

         dance to data to objects”
