Summary

Dancer/choreographer Bill T. Jones and performance artist Bill Irwin talk about their philosophies of art and the reasons why they chose their particular approaches instead of more conventional outlets. Irwin describes his own type of comedy and its links to clowns of the past; Jones discusses the human situations that he attempts to portray in his works. Both perform brief solos in the studio. In Esoterica balletica, Betty Low relates an anecdote about Michel Fokine and his wife Vera Fokina while on tour in New Zealand with the Original Ballet Russe.
