Every dance is and gives ecstasy.
How much more intense the reaction of primitive man, whose unburdened mind offers so little resistance to every stimulus and whose body, unstunted and undisciplined, responds to this stimulus without restraint to an extent that is foreign to us. I'd say I see dancers who uplift me with their ardent determination to soar. Ask me an hour later, as I sat in Row O at City Center watching the dancers of the Merce Cunningham Company, no longer able to find a language adequate to describe what I was seeing, and the answer would be a somewhat self-annihilating one. A time when the word had not so emasculated us and become such a crutch that our bodies, while still technically unbridled, had become very limited vehicles of expression. We shake hands.
