Forsythe spoke about her and counterpoint in his interview for One Flat thing with Thierry de May ........ (see the first video in the tab: William Forsythe)

video: Meg Stuart
from the youtube listing:
DE:
Der Moment, in dem die Sprache versagt und die Gesten ihre Bedeutung verlieren. Die Grenzen der Kommunikation, das Scheitern des Ausdrucks: Indem die amerikanische Choreografin Meg Stuart die Masken, Fiktionen und Wünsche der menschlichen Seele ausstellt, erinnert sie uns an unsere Verletzlichkeit.
Doch so sehr Meg Stuart das Misslingen von Dialog und Kollaboration in den Mittelpunkt stellt, so sehr ist ihr Werk von der Sehnsucht gerade nach deren Möglichkeit geprägt, von „dem Wunsch, die Zeit zusammenzupressen, die eigene Biografie neu zu schreiben, mehrere Körper gleichzeitig zu bewohnen, den Schmerz eines anderen zu spüren, die Leere anzunehmen, alle möglichen Wahrnehmungen einer komplexen Situation in einer einzigen Geste zu zeigen.Zum ersten Mal seit ihrem legendären ortsspezifischen Projekt „Highway 101 entwickelt Stuart gemeinsam mit ihrer Kompanie im Rahmen des steirischen herbst eine neue Arbeit für einen Ort, der kein konventioneller Theaterraum ist. Die große, leere Helmut-List-Halle nimmt sie als Herausforderung für eine Performance-Installation mit begrenzter Zuschauerzahl: Was unter dem Arbeitstitel „Project.08 bis zum Moment der Premiere in Graz entsteht, ist ein tänzerischer Abend zwischen Feier und Krise voller vergänglicher Verbindungen, unerbetener Geschenke und kleiner Wunder.
EN:
The moment when language fails and gestures lose their meaning. The limits of communication, the failure of expression: By exhibiting the masks, fictions and wishes of the human soul, American choreographer Meg Stuart reminds us of our vulnerability.
But as much as Stuart focuses on the failure of dialogue and collaboration, her work is characterised by the yearning for their possibility, by the will to compress time, to rewrite ones history, to live in many bodies at once, to fully experience the pain of another, to embrace emptiness, to show all perspectives of a complex situation in a single gesture.
For the first time since her legendary site-specific Highway 101 project, Stuart is developing a new piece for a non-theatre space together with her company for steirischer herbst. She takes the big empty Helmut-List-Halle as a challenge for a performance installation with a limited number of spectators: What she is developing under the working title Project.08 up to the moment of the première in Graz is an evening of dance set between celebration and crisis, full of fleeting links, unrequested gifts, and little miracles.

video: when the body does leave a trace
by just being and moving not by touching.. It is pretty rudimentary and not too inspiring but it shows what's possible, potentially. Only I think other people have done it better.

video: Across Bodies and Systems: Interview with Susan Kozel
'social choreography',
I found this exciting woman!
Susan Kozel combines dance and philosophy in the context of new media: in other words she works with bodies, ideas and technologies. She has a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Essex, UK (1994), and a long history of various movement techniques (from ballet to butoh) but currently works primarily with phenomenology as a methodology and improvisation and a movement practice. Susan is now happy to start her permanent position as a Professor of New Media at MEDEA Collaborative Media Initiative, Malmö University.

More about Susan Kozel
She has taught for a range of university programs in the UK and North America (Dance, Philosophy, Interactive Arts, Digital Media) and. She balances her academic life with professional artistic practice at the convergence of dance and digital technologies as the director of Mesh Performance Practices.
She has published widely and performed internationally. Her collaborative performances and installations include the Technologies of Inner Spaces series (immanence 2005, Other Stories 2007 and The Yellow Memory 2009), whisper[s] wearable computing (with Thecla Schiphorst) 2002-2005, and trajets (with Gretchen Schiller) 2000-2007. Her writing includes the book Closer: performance, technologies, phenomenology (MIT Press 2007) which will be followed by a second book called Social Choreographies: Corporeal Aesthetics with Mobile Media (expected in 2012). Recently, she has written chapters for edited collections on performance research in The Routledge Companion to Artistic Research (ed. M. Biggs & H. Karlsson, Routledge, forthcoming 2010), and on corporeal ethics in Throughout: Art and Culture Emerging with Ubiquitous Computing, (ed. U. Ekman, MIT Press, forthcoming 2011).
Current work includes collaborating with dance scholars and artists Leena Rouhiainen and Mia Keinänen on the Intuition in Creative Processes initiative based at the Theatre Academy in Helsinki. This IntuiTweet project experiments with social networking applications (such as Twitter) for improvised performance with the aim of better understanding intuition. Other research areas include the interdisciplinary consideration of bodily expression in electronic music, and the articulation of an embodied methodological basis for artistic research.
She is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for the Humanities Art and Technology Centre in Poznan, Poland, and the Quality Advisory Board of the Swedish National Research School in the Arts (Konstnärlig Forskarskola).
