To Dance Is To Live. What I

One Might Say That The American Trend Of Education Is To Reduce The Senses Almost To Nil.

Art Is Not Necessary At All. All That Is Necessary To Make This World A Better Place To Live In Is To Love - To Love As Christ Loved, As Buddha Loved.

When I Was Sixteen, I Danced Before An Audience Without Music. At The End Someone Suddenly Cried 'its Death And The Maiden'. But That Was Not My Intention; I Was Only Endeavoring To Express My First Knowledge Of The Underlying Tragedy In All Seemingly Joyous Manifestation. The Dance According With My Comprehension, Should Have Been Called 'life And The Maiden'.

The Dancer's Body Is Simply The Luminous Manifestation Of Her Soul...this Is The Truly Creative Dancer, Natural But Not Imitative, Speaking In Movement Out Of Herself And Out Of Something Greater Than All Selves.

I Had Learned To Have A Perfect Nausea For The Theatre: The Continual Repetition Of The Same Words And The Same Gestures, Night After Night, And The Caprices, The Way Of Looking At Life, And The Entire Rigmarole Disgusted Me.
