"And the fourth: the dimension of stillness and the power over wild beast..." Ezra Pound
IOWA CITY, IOWA November 1970: Notes:
Sitting down to do it. Certainly with a little help. Air head now level, eyes shutting body moving we have been working here at the University three weeks trying hard not to show it being hard to know one's own movement being most important to me.
when I was a senior at Pratt I began to draft with Miracle Whip although they all said "no", "no" I began dancing and writing my thesis on designing an imaginary cathedral or a fewtime city perhaps.
Where were you Byrd?
I was in New York it was 1963 and there were these dancers and one of them was my friend who got sick and couldn't appear and so at the last minute I took his place. The audience laughed, but really laughed and I didn't stop moving for eighteen minutes. And then I met Kenneth King who told me I was a dancer and encouraged me.
Although I am really a teacher my working with moving the body first came by working with a dancer to overcome a speech impediment than later with brain damaged children drilling them with exercises with automatically developed unused brain cells and then later with people from the streets, private schools, and people of all ages just moving at the loft--first learning to walk we made theatre.
seeing the Ox. A child screams. The red line out the window leads to the sun around the corner I read Stein to the first day of class and singing moving for an hour still we ran, fell down, and caught each other falling. Chip said that he didn't care if he looked like Martha Graham
