DANCE & ARCHITECTURE

"They say that the two primary arts were dance and architecture.

The word 'theatre' was a verb before it was a noun - an act, then a place.
That means you must make the gesture, the effort, the real effort to communicate with another being. And you also must have a tree to shelter under in case of storm or sun.

There is always that tree, that creative force,
and there is always a house, a theatre."

Martha Graham
