I did not want to be a tree, a flower or a wave. In a dancer's body, we as audience must see ourselves, not the imitated behavior of everyday actions, not the phenomenon of nature, not exotic creatures from another planet, but something of the miracle that is a human being.

  • -- Martha Graham 玛莎·格雷厄姆

我不想成为一棵树,一朵花或一个波浪。在舞者的身体里,我们作为观众必须看到的是我们自己,而不是日常行为的模仿,不是自然现象,不是来自另一个星球的奇异生物,而是人类自身的奇迹。
