Summary

Unedited footage. Bessie Schönberg, noted as a mentor of modern dance choreographers, explains why she considers herself a "meddler" rather than a teacher. She discusses aspects of the choreographer's craft, describes her own role in fostering creativity, and summarizes her advice to aspiring choreographers. She praises The Yard and its founder-director Patricia Nanon for its nurturing of choreographers, and briefly traces her own career as a performer and "meddler."
