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

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

Dancing is a spiritual exercise in a physical form.

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

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

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.

There are no fixed points in space.

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 .
