“Like filmmakers,
the choreographers
people the landscape,
working from various
viewing angles, using
perspective, scale and
dynamic relationships
to create visual images
that also work at levels
of metaphorical meaning.
Performers and viewers
alike are part of the
invading hordes,
casting ephemeral
human shadows on
the abiding earth.”
