Way back when, I got the original art of a Wapsi Square strip (by Paul Taylor ). Finally FINALLY got it framed! It's going to go on the wall right by a Kel McDonald original page (from Cautionary Fabled and Fairy Tales: Africa Edition).

“Under the influence not I know of the hardest cider but of his own inner joy at life for a moment as it should be, as it was meant to be in his nature, Phineas recaptured that magic gift for existing primarily in space, one foot conceding briefly to gravity its rights before spinning him off again into the air. It was his wildest demonstration of himself, of himself in the kind of world he loved; it was his choreography of peace.”
― John Knowles, A Separate Peace

When I first began choreographing, I never thought of it as choreography but as expressing feelings. Though every piece is different, they are all trying to get at certain things that are difficult to put into words. In the work, everything belongs to everything else - the music, the set, the movement and whatever is said.
