"It's the energy and twisting of his forms that inspires me. I think there's a sense of movement in the sculptor's strength that can be captured. And instead of rendering it in two dimensions, dance can do it in three."

C'est bien l'energie de ses formes, les torsions qui m'inspirent. Je pense qu'il y a un sens du mouvement dans la force du sculpteur, que l'on peut capturer. Et au lieu de le rendre en deux dimensions, la danse le peut en trois.
