People do constantly deeds without being fully aware of it. Some deeds have more effect on oneself, others and the surrounding society than others – these deeds finally count and make a mark. Theses of Deed explores how a movement grows into a deed. For the choreographer Kekoni the search means a return to the concrete sources of the movement: the body and its proportions, weight, push and pull, and letting go. Searching for the meaning of a movement led into collection of theses certain kind of Kekoni Method.

- The power of variation is based on different emphases on the same thing. A dialogue of similarities and differences is born.
- A dancer must, in his mind’s eye, see what he is doing. The hands must sense surfaces like a sculptor.
- Dance is a longing for an alternate form of organic existence; the dancer is an interpreter of different biological form.
- The intestines are a clue in the search for movement. The body can only be moved compendiously from within.
- Curlicues of movement lead to a body falling down the stairs like a body bag.
- A movement event always begets another; a path of events is created. Only the death of movement permits a new beginning.
- The state of true art is that the material of the tool itself cease to exist; that which gave birth to the experience disappears.
