What is dance for you today?
Lucinda Childs: ‘I am working in an area that is not that of the typical classical dance trend, but rather one that expresses the trend of movement, of busy life’.
Is there a key to your performances, or is this essentially subjective, personal?
Lucinda Childs: ‘My work is not designed to force anyone. Everyone is free to follow it in terms of music, drawing, movement. My intention is not to make any kind of reading stand out’. from an interview in ‘Scene’
Lucinda Childs began her career as a choreographer and dancer in 1963 at the historic Judson Dance Theatre in New York and in collaboration with Bob Wilson, the musician Philip Glass has created some of the most important dance performances of recent years.
