Edward Morgan (choreographer)

Poster

True, 300 pixels

This poster of Edward Morgan's choreography precisely illustrates the article Edward Morgan (choreographer); no other poster would do, as it was intended when created in 2010 to show the nature of his choreography which is the subject of the article. The use of a published poster relevant to a Wikipedia article is considered fair usage. In this case it directly exemplifies Morgan's skill in choreography, which is something practical, not verbal. If dance could be fully or even adequately grasped in words, dance and choreography would be redundant and nobody would practice them or bother to watch it, feel passionately about it, or spend money and time on it: but thousands of people do, when it is good enough, as it certainly is in Morgan's case. Therefore it is not possible to replace the poster with words, and the article is less clear without it, per NFCC#8. Further, photography is not allowed in performances, so even if for the sake of argument we considered that a hand-held snapshot would be equivalent to the skilful, well-chosen and carefully-posed shots taken back in 2010, which is frankly absurd, it would be extremely difficult to obtain; but the work of Abilene Morgan with Edward Morgan's active cooperation shown in the poster could not be recreated under any circumstances. The poster shows not only what Edward Morgan was capable of achieving at the height of his creative power, but what he intended to project, and no free equivalent of that exists or will ever exist, per NFCC#1.
