productions/pieces/works

By the 1990s, Lin wearied of successful but predictable productions. He started tripping his pieces to what he called the 'impulse" of dance--its spirit, not just its form.

Hi,
Do productions, pieces, and works amount to one another?
Besides, what does the bolded part in the above refer to? Thanks.

" Works performed on a stage, where "special" preparation or creative work is done for a particular series of performances, would be called a production - such as the ballet, a play, the opera, a musical, etc. A movie is also referred to as a production. In the ballet, the music and the choreography are created by different people.

A "work of art" may have different names, depending on which form of art you're talking about, but they would all be referred to as "works."

AvangiI'm not sure about "tripping" in your bolded part. Are you sure you have it right?

- A.

Thanks, Avangi, for the elaborate explanation.
And yes, I have "tripping" right, but I'm not sure the original copy get it right.
