Summary
Rebecca Hilton, John Jasperse, and Jodi Melnik speak with Levi Gonzalez about how they met one another; beginning their careers in New York City; comaraderie amongst dancers who begin and grow together; the challenge of seeking comaraderie with a new generation of dancers; Jasperse not wanting to stand out as a dancemaker or separate entity while performing; the process of creating "Becky, Jodi, and John" as though it were an extension of daily routine; constructing a performance experience; theatrical construction; the way creative work reveals the artist; presenting rather than projecting a piece; the goals of the piece; recurring movement ideas; the challenge of diminishing the idea that there is a master or one person who matters most; how the piece changed over time; the link between the change in the dance world and overall socio-cultural changes.
