The winds of change have come and whisked away the old b&w photos, turned the page from Terpsichore to a twisted terpsichorean interpretation of rock 'n roll, hung up the bouquet of wilting roses, and out in the foyer, a dynamic image of Serge Lifar in mid-flight is impressed upon us: back arched, muscles of the legs bulging, bold, the hands flung with the delicacy of scarves yet full of life, the eyes wellsprings of emotion. He seems ready to leap out of the page in all his graphite-and-ink glory.
Similarly, we must impress our image upon the audience, constantly going forward and upward. Similarly, when, for example, we pose in attitude at various angles, we are not to become objects to look at, but remain human beings conveying ideas to the audience. Carry the body forward and with aplomb--a constant dynamic energy that flows from the floor to the pelvic floor to the top of the head and shoots out like a geyser--; and may the eyes be full of life and wordless, soundless speech.
