Some artists or authors spend almost a lifetime on one work.  Some crank out masterpieces in no time.  Productivity varies for sure.

Considering that a choreography of a dance is surely a work of art, it would seem that it would take a lot of time to "complete" not to mention the attendant issues of needing a company of dancers to set the work upon (or whatever the correct jargon is).

This would seem to indicate that choreographers are constrained in their output.  

Here are some things I have been thinking about:

Who were to most prolific choreographers?  Are there any great choreographers who only did a few masterpieces, and little else?  Do choreographers collaborate or perfer to work alone?  Where do choreographers "come" from... former dancers?
