I was told that I had to give grades to the students, which I wasn't particularly interested in doing.

You have to love dancing to stick to it. It gives you nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that fleeting moment when you feel alive. It is not for unsteady souls .

Light or luminosity is created by the way elements are juxtaposed. They become reflective and a radiance comes from putting different things together.

There are no fixed points in space.

Dancing is a spiritual exercise in a physical form.

There's no thinking involved in my choreography... I don't work through images or ideas. I work through the body... If the dancer dances, which is not the same as having theories about dancing or wishing to dance or trying to dance, everything is there. When I dance, it means: this is what I am doing.

Falling is one of the ways of moving.

Anything can feed you, depending on the way you look at it.

I think of dance as a constant transformation of life itself.
