MoveScape Center (MSC): By most calculations, Santa, you are several centuries old. Do you experience any memory problems?
Santa Clause (SC): As a matter of fact, I have trouble keeping the darned reindeers’ names straight. I have keep calling out to them all night long – it’s embarrassing if I make mistakes.
MSC: How do you cope?
SC: I look for a pattern. Take Rudolf Laban’s Dimensional Scale: up, down, across, open, backward, forward. I practice it in retrograde – forward, backward, open, across, down, up – like I’m playing a musical scale in ascending then descending order.
MSC: And??
SC: I do the same thing with the reindeer. They are used to hearing me cry– Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, Blitzen. I practice backwards – works like a charm!
MSC: You certainly have found a unique way to apply Laban’s ideas, Santa!
