Stand up! Keep your backs straight! Remember that this is where the wings grow.

Dancers today can do anything; the technique is phenomenal. The passion and the meaning to their movement can be another thing.

Nobody cares if you can't dance well.

The body is your instrument in dance, but your art is outside that creature, the body.

The world I'm interested in is the one where things are not named.

It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.

When you start with an idea, or something hits you, then you have to follow that through to the end, and it's the following through to the end that makes the pattern. That, for me, is choreography.
