For dance: "Dance disappears almost at the moment of its manifestation. It is an extreme expression of the present, a perfect metaphor for life…I find it strangely beautiful to be creating something that is made of us – made of our breath and blood and bones and minds…We embody both the dance and its disappearance." – Crystal Pite.
