I Get Up, I Fall Down, All

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.

We Look At The Dance To Impart The Sensation Of Living In An Affirmation Of Life, To Energize The Spectator Into Keener Awareness Of The Vigor, The Mystery, The Humor, The Variety, And The Wonder Of Life. This Is The Function Of The American Dance.

It's Not My Job To Look Beautiful. It's My Job To Look Interesting.

The Body Is A Sacred Garment.

No Artist Is Ahead Of His Time. He Is His Time; It Is Just That Others Are Behind The Times.
