Merce Cunningham The only way to do it is to do it. – Merce CunninghamThemes: discipline, practice | Art form: Modern danceMore quotes by Merce CunninghamDance is an art in space and time. The object of the dancer is to obliterate that.The most essential thing in dance discipline is devotion.Dancing is a spiritual exercise in a physical form.I'm not expressing anything.
