THE MODERN FACE OF DANCE
To make the entablature fit we need three things:
pliability, willingness and, of course, energy. You must
bend the very bones which hold you back. Use a
countervailing weight to impel the structure forward,
back, and sideways too. The muscle-power used
can only show the flex and the artistry of all those
sinews stretched and displayed. A decorous human
sculpture, in motion, lithe and dynamic. We can bend
the arch, we can twist the waist. It all comes together
as beauty and sense. And - haven't you ever noticed -
there never are any words involved. Speech here is
only a vice, too tight, which holds things down.
