No Composer Has Yet Caught

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.

Man Must Speak, Then Sing, Then Dance. The Speaking Is The Brain, The Thinking Man. The Singing Is The Emotion. The Dancing Is The Dionysian Ecstasy Which Carries Away All.

My Art Is Just An Effort To Express The Truth Of My Being In Gesture And Movement. It Has Taken Me Long Years To Find Even One Absolutely True Movement.

For I Was Never Able To Understand, Then Or Later On, Why, If One Wanted To Do A Thing, One Should Not Do It. For I Have Never Waited To Do As I Wished. This Has Frequently Brought Me To Disaster And Calamity, But At Least I Have Had The The Satisfaction Of Getting My Own Way.

I Hope That Schools Have Changed Since I Was A Little Girl. My Memory Of The Teaching Of The Public Schools Is That It Showed The Brutal Incomprehension Of Children.
