« If we consider our physical selves as a mobile stage, a place on which to produce actions, build things to be and learn to let things happen through movement, and allow others to look at us, then we can become a frame in which the spectator arranges things. I have always developed a new vocabulary of movement by redefining the familiar by placing constraints on the body – strange shoes, heavy costumes – or by impeding the senses. I am often accused of provocation, but it is never my intention. I like to conquer, invoke, and evoke. »
