The words and sounds of a song are only the small visible aspect of a far greater mystery which lies beneath and beyond syntactical speech. When great art is so deeply felt and understood, it ceases to be a collection of beautiful objects and becomes instead a succession of gateways. And whenever this happens art reveals the path of beauty. The arts are, I believe, about to take upon their shoulders the burdens that have fallen from the shoulders of priests, and to lead us back upon our journey by filling our thoughts with the essences of things, and not with things. W.B. Yeats Artists are ambassadors from an aternate reality.
Dance is clearly an extremely powerful force in human experience.
The dance is the only form of magic which has not lost its ancient power. The dancer of the future will be one whose body and soul have grown so harmoniously together that the natural language of that soul will have become the movement of the body. It is not a question of saying but of being, and the finest expression of Being is through the dance. You cannot express anything greater or higher than you are. Our minds and bodies are veils of the Light within.
