The Generation Of Composers That Are Just Preceded Me, People Like [karlheinz] Stockhausen, [pierre] Boulez, And, Well, [john] Cage For That Matter,[morton] Feldman ... That Was A Kind Of Experimental Music That Was Very Isolated. It Had No Real Public.

I've Been Working In Theater, Really, Since About 1965. I Started Working With The Mabou Mines About Then, And In A Way I've Always Worked In The Theater, But It's Never Been A Main Part Of My Work. And It Wasn't Until Einstein That I Kind Of Shifted Into High Gear With Theater, Working With Bob, With Bob Wilson. And Since Then I Find It A Very Attractive Form To Work In. It's Just An Extension Of My Work.
