“I don't try to tell the dancers exactly what a dance means before they do it.”
New York Times interview (1985)
Context: I don't try to tell the dancers exactly what a dance means before they do it. I can correct it and tell them what they have done after they have done it, and what it means to me. But I don't say, "Be fearful here," "Be angry here," because I think that is intrusion.
Green Print for Song (1974)
Context: I see Christ as the incarnation of the piper who is calling us. He dances that shape and pattern which is at the heart of our reality.

I sing of the dancing pattern in the life and words of Jesus.
Whether Jesus ever leaped in Galilee to the rhythm of a pipe or drum I do not know. We are told that David danced (and as an act of worship too), so it is not impossible.
