Enjoy these quotes about the art of making dances...

 


 

 ”Choreography is simpler than you think.

Just go and do, and don't think so much about it.

Just make something interesting.”


- George Balanchine

 

 

“Good choreography fuses eye, ear and mind.”


- Arlene Croce

 

 

“A choreographic idea flows only as fast as the initiator

can communicate it to bodies and see them realize it.”

”God creates, I do not create.

I assemble and I steal everywhere to do it –

from what I see, from what the dancers can do,

from what others do...”


- George Balanchine

 

 

“I often say that in making dances

I can make a world where I think

things are done morally,

done democratically, done honestly.”


- Twyla Tharp

 

 

"The choreographer cannot deliberately

make a ballet to appeal to an audience,

he has to start from personal inspirations.

He has to trust the ballet, 

to let it stand on its own strengths or fall on its weaknesses. 

If it reaches the audience, then he is lucky that round!" 


- Gerald Arpino

 

 

“I think Balanchine and Robbins talk to God

and when I call, he's out to lunch.”


- Bob Fosse

 

 

“I don't want dancers who want to dance.

I want dancers who have to dance.”


- George Balanchine

 

 

“Dances without purpose have false starts and stops.


- Hanya Holm

 

 

“I'm not interested in a group of people with some sort of

incredible homogeny,

a group that can do the movement I want.

I'm interested in people who

can take the movement somewhere.”


- Graeme Murphy

 

 

“Dancers are instruments,

 like a piano the choreographer plays.” 


- George Balanchine
