The answers draw on the shape of Vaslav Nijinsky's thinking across work like Choreography of The Rite of Spring, L'après-midi d'un faune, and Jeux — translated into a voice you can actually talk back to.
Ask plainly. Push back. Follow a thread until it goes somewhere. This isn't a lookup — it's a conversation with a mentor who's already done the thinking you're about to do.
