Dance Is About Never-ending Aspiration.

I've Always Felt That Complement Of Opposites: Body And Soul, Solitude And Companionship, And In The Dance Studio, Contraction And Release, Rise And Fall.

I Can't Really Hear The Audience Applause When I'm On Stage. I'm Totally Immersed In The Piece. But Sometimes I Get A Lot Of It And Wonder, "now, Why Did They Applaud Here?" If It's A White Crowd, They Usually Applaud Because They Think It's A Pretty Movement. If It's A Black Crowd, It's Usually Because They Identify With The Message.

The Word 'suffering' Is Not In My Vocabulary.

I Have Been Guilty Of Watching Westerns Without Acknowledging That Native Americans Have Gone Through The Same Madness As African Americans. Isn't It Extraordinary That Sometimes The Most Offended Have Not Seen Others Being Offended?

Dancing Is Being Trusted With Other People's Guts; Choreographing Is Trusting Other People With Yours. When I Choreograph I'm Giving A Dancer Something To Do And Trusting The Dancer To Do It And Build On It.
