Negative Space

Balanchine would approve of a muse such as this.
I will celebrate when ballet and theatre can unflinchingly feature
nude performers in important mainstream presentations. Like
the motion picture rating NC-17, theatrical nudity can be the
kiss of death for a production, and cannot be undertaken carelessly.
Iron-clad context and fleeting whimsy should be our artistic concerns,
not city ordinances, community watchdogs, or federal grants.
