The following year, with <em>Rituel pour un r\u00eave mort<\/em>, she wrote a poetic manifesto that defined an approach to her work that she has adhered to ever since: dance that is strongly oriented towards philosophy and spirituality. Carlson prefers the term \u2018visual poetry\u2019 to \u2018choreography\u2019 to describe her work. She creates works that express her poetic thoughts and a form of complete art within which movement occupies a special place.<\/p>\n<p>For four decades, Carlson has had significant influence and success in many European countries. She played a key role in the birth of French and Italian contemporary dance through the GRTOP (theatre research group) at Paris Opera Ballet and Teatrodanza at La Fenice.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1888\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pilatesathens.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/carlson-300x136.jpg\" alt=\"carlson\" width=\"300\" height=\"136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pilatesathens.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/carlson-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pilatesathens.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/carlson-600x272.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pilatesathens.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/carlson.jpg 992w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nShe has created over 100 pieces, a large number of which are landmarks in the history of dance, including <em>Density 21.5<\/em>, <em>The Year of the Horse<\/em>, <em>Blue Lady<\/em>, <em>Steppe<\/em>, <em>Maa<\/em>, <em>Signes<\/em>, <em>Writings on Water<\/em> and <em>Inanna<\/em>.
