- Summary
- Nikolais discusses the aesthetic totality (of movement, sound, light, and costume) which he seeks in his work; his dance school at the Henry Street Settlement House; his dance Sanctum (the electronic music for it is played as Nikolais describes the action); his composition of electronic music; the use of improvisation in his dance compositions and its place in his school's courses; the "neo-classic" modern dance tradition to which his work belongs. More music from Sanctum is played. Nikolais then discusses the rhythmic structure of his music.
