Dancing is like thinking out loud.

Dancing is like thinking out loud. You are bound to connect things that otherwise would have been undiscovered. You are bound to offend somebody. Dance history is filled with these offenses: skin and sin. I am apologetic through my choreography. A good degree of shame goes along with vulnerability, and I wonder where I get my ideas of freedom. I cannot imagine writing in official dance notation. I cannot imagine copyrighting a choreographic work. My idea of dance is an image to sound as text. I just cannot take ownership of the text, because the text mirrors life and I have yet to thank the mirror for my good looks. Dance history is filled with people with good looks, who practice in front of the mirror that does not record any of their moves. The ideas they represent have a life of their own, so what is the purpose of dance? To teach us we do not need the mirror, as much as we need the text.
