Thanks for the suggestions "going wild" on a quite formalised concept. I think that the lying down conducting and the darkness exercise gave a few new aspects of search for "clarity" opposed to "information overload" in a communication context.
Lying down - reversed the vertical communication idiom - decision making merged with the common ground of gravity can normally only function vertically. The gestures became ambiguous and the singers had to interpret more. Allowed another type of freedom or outsourced responsibility.
Working together - silently - in darkness gave some aspect of "filtering" away the imprecision and yet give the ensemble a "big picture" idea of what sort of communication the leader is performing. Here is something to pursue as the phenomenology of leadership also contains some aspects of exaggeration.
You remember me criticising one of the conductors "shouting" with pretty big and heavy gestures. Perhaps this deliberate "sordino for conductors" can filter out the pressure in some way?

On aspects of 'reversing communication idiom' would like to explore if we can take some of this thinking further. Am interested in playing with structural elements of communication/leadership. Organisations are so complex now, people having to work globally/regionally/locally/virtually. Big challenges for communication/leadership. Where could some of this thinking take us with 'communication as perf art'? Could we run something experimental?
