I Fell In Love With New York. It Was Like Every Human Being, Like Any Relationship. When I Was A Young New Yorker, It Was One City. When I Was A Grown Man, It Was Another City. I Worked With Many Dance Organizations And Many Wonderful People. In The '90s, It Became Kind Of A Hard And Unwelcoming City In Many Ways. It Became Conservative, Like The Whole Country.

Dance Is An Ephemeral, A Fleeting Art. To Describe This Momentum, Every Movement On Stage, In Words Is Virtually Impossible.

In '74 It Was Really A Very Gloomy Atmosphere, I Would Say, To Put It Mildly.
