Oh, got your pm. Well, I guess that's an aesthetic opinion all right. And one I can sometimes share. The human body can certainly be ugly, and beautiful bodies have their own special ugliness, too. But to me that's what creates the drama. Otherwise one walks a tightrope laying on a floor, and has nowhere to fall. Dance is peculiarly eventful and time-bound for me, never the same twice.

I'm not convinced by time-honored tradition or that people worked so hard (oh all right give them a C+ then)--it just seems beside the point. Art isn't the special olympics, nice sentiments don't mean it works. I've worked absurdly hard on some really wretched stuff, and so I think I know better.
