Theater Is A Verb Before It Is

I Did Not Want To Be A Tree, A Flower Or A Wave. In A Dancer's Body, We As Audience Must See Ourselves, Not The Imitated Behavior Of Everyday Actions, Not The Phenomenon Of Nature, Not Exotic Creatures From Another Planet, But Something Of The Miracle That Is A Human Being.

All That Is Important Is This One Moment In Movement. Make The Moment Important, Vital, And Worth Living. Do Not Let It Slip Away Unnoticed And Unused.

Looking At The Past Is Like Lolling In A Rocking Chair. It Is So Relaxing And You Can Rock Back And Forth On The Porch, And Never Go Forward.

I Believe That Dance Was The First Art. A Philosopher Has Said That Dance And Architecture Were The First Arts. I Believe That Dance Was First Because It's Gesture, It's Communication. That Doesn't Mean It's Telling A Story, But It Means It's Communicating A Feeling, A Sensation To People.

Modern Dance Isn't Anything Except One Thing In My Mind: The Freedom Of Women In America.
