The purpose of this study is to find a way to achieve the identity and originality of performance in dance. The technical device G. McFee uses is a distinction between types and tokens. This type/token language provides us with a clear way of talking about works that are multiples. The way in which performances relate to works is through ‘interpretation.’ The performer's interpretation achieves the identity and originality of the performance by limiting the aspect of the performance and associating the token with the type.
