Even if the world turns upside down, the dancers remain poised because they are in a place of calmness and know they will come through the turmoil. All my ballets are a continuation of one another, themes in my life as I contemplate them. The discoveries of a dancer are as deserving of respect as those of a scientist. They are both looking for the x factor, meaning the truth behind all phenomena. Art is the knowledge of how things are done.
Dancers are a serious as a committed surgeon who knows that an operation can save someone's life.
I want to experience things from the inside, to know them as truth, before they evolve into form on the outside. What my work seeks to discover is the nature of things, not in appearance, but in its manner of operation.
