“I intend this film mainly as a sample of film-dance, that is, a dance so related to camera and cutting that it cannot be performed as a unit anywhere but in this particular film. In the short space (limited by the financial problems of film production) of the film, I have been able to suggest the potentialities of such a form. It is my hope that film-dance will be rapidly developed and that, in the interest of such a development, a new era of collaboration between dancers and filmmakers will open up—one in which both would pool their creative energies and talents towards an integrated arts expression.”—MD
