Description

Choreographer's notes (from 2011 program): Grace appears most purely in that human form which either has no consciousness or an infinite consciousness. That is, in the puppet or in the god. – Heinrich von Kleist, “On the Marionette Theater” -- Doubt requires more courage than conviction does, and more energy; because conviction is a resting place and doubt is infinite; it is a passionate exercise. We’ve got to learn to live with a full measure of uncertainty. There is no last word. That’s the silence under the chatter of our time. – John Patrick Shanley
