Alwin Nikolais Quotes
Basic dance - and I should qualify the word basic - is primarily concerned with motion. So immediately you will say but the basketball player is concerned with motion. That is so-but he is not concerned with it primarily. His action is a means towards an end beyond motion. In basic dance the motion is its own end-that is, it is concerned with nothing beyond itself.

And all because of dissimilarity--because no one thing is sufficient in itself, but calls for the assistance of something else, and repays by a contribution in turn.
