In a 2008 interview, Lisa Nelson discussed her work as a dance-maker, improvisational performer, and videographer. She described her practice of creating "tuning scores," which she characterized as a feedback system that allows participants to receive direct feedback from observers. Nelson stated that she uses workshops as a laboratory for exploring how people look at dance and how that affects movement, noting that she prefers longer workshops to short ones. She expressed a view that the body has not been explored enough in relation to technology, and said she would be most fascinated by watching a human being's organization change in dialogue with technology. Nelson also spoke about her perspective on the body in dance, saying that because dancers' bodies are their product, it is difficult to have an original notion about the body. She distinguished between a "cultural body" and an "animal body," which she said are often at odds. Regarding improvisation, Nelson remarked that the phrase "everybody has responsibility" felt like nobody had accountability, and that she was interested in making improvisational activity that could fail as art making.
