"Undulation, quivering - what I consider micro-isolations are for me the real and deep juice of dance. That's why dance feels sensuous, that's why it can talk about the erotic and talk about the wave-like nature of thought and motion. And I think thoughts and motions do come in waves. Even though it may be that a motion feels abrupt and staccato, the way it courses through the body is like a wave or even a smaller particle of a wave."

From the sessions in The Cooper Union's Houghton Gallery, January 1998.
