HI Jackie
generally when I decide to cut it stays cut. For me at least, any other way madness lies :)
The 4 am thing I'm familiar with..

Stop the Victimisation of Ricardo Dominguez
I'm a little shocked that this case hasn't aroused more comment here & more than a little disappoitnted it doesn't seem to have been covered by the Rhizome staffers, especially when I think of the generous response to the JoyWar events and to the attacks on Steve Kurtz a few years back.
The question of peer/community support aside, even *journalistically* it should surely be a major issue that someone faces loss of tenure and a possible criminal investigation over art related activities.
Here's a couple more documents that give some background to the case:

This is as much as I know. If anyone has more recent or just more information it'd be useful to have it in the public domain...

hmm. I was taken by your initial bold statement & I certainly think it to some extent describes how I feel in the specific instance of making dance based work.. but is that saying any more than the editing process allows us *another layer* of choreographic input...?
For me nearer to the mark most of the time is the cliché, but no less true for being one, of editing being a *musical* kind of process - it certainly often feels that way. My background is in music and there's definitely a similar sense of what I'm doing when I compose and when I'm editing.
Even more, though, I feel it as a sculptural process - in the specific sense one might cut away at wood or stone to reveal the form underneath ( and further that the grain or other peculiarities of the material might dictate or suggest some decisions). Especially in situations where I have a lot of material it initially feels that I will never be able to manage or shape it because the possibilites are so legion. The more I cut though , the more I see a final shape and the more certain I become of what I am doing and where I am heading...
Having said all that the last specific *skill* that I would claim is "editing" - I'm sure I do loads of naive & dodgy things that would make a real *editor* laugh or throw up her hands...
