The position of the spectator and the relation between the artistic proposal and the spectator are important things do discuss in relation to meeting.

Here is a text from Jaques Rancière, that has been discussed quite a lot in different contexts of dance and choreography, so we thought we could also share it, to perhaps new readers. Here is a part of the introduction from the MODE05 publication Reversed Engineering Education, where it was first published: 

“In his text, Rancière develops an interpretation of the spectator as active translator of performance, mirroring his concept of an emancipated relationship between those who teach and those who are taught, a concept which juxtaposes the paradox of the ʻignorant masterʼ to the oppressive principle of educational
instruction. Rancièreʼs texts were taken as an important point of reference
for MODE05 in order to envision a relationship of equality between teacher
and student."

MODE05 has been a great influence during the work with möte09 - but the similarity of project titles is purely coincidental! Below is a link to the entire publication.
