MP: I wondered in that context if the visual art viewers or art mall viewers were able to see dance as other than entertainment.

RL: I think they did with particular works, like Paxton’s Satisfyin’ Lover, for instance. Because of its stillness, its perfect nothingness? But all art is entertaining on some level, making you think, stimulating one’s intellect or stupidity, entertaining a darkness, or delight, entertaining a spirit or arrogance.
