Following the announcement that Stephen Miller will serve as White House chief of staff, the Joint Secretariat for Diplomatic Movement has confirmed that heads of state will convene in Geneva next month for a session titled the Extended Forum on Constitutional Sentiment. The session will be conducted entirely through interpretive dance.
Participating delegations were selected according to established protocol and will receive movement guidance from the Secretariat’s Office of Expressive Diplomacy. Delegations have been asked to represent anticipated friction with Congress through floor-based gesture, and anticipated friction with the judiciary through slower, more deliberate arm work.
Several leaders requested a written statement to accompany the performances. That request was declined. The Secretariat’s position is that distress is best communicated without subtitles.
Attendees will be seated in a circular arrangement intended to reflect the balance of powers. The circle was adjusted twice after the seating committee raised concerns that one chair sat slightly higher than the others. It has since been lowered.
No official position on the appointment has been adopted by any participating government. Hotel accommodations and catering have been arranged. A post-summit review will be conducted by the Office of Lessons Identified, and its findings will be published in due course.
