Dance pioneer Mark Morris characterizes his style as simultaneously contrarian and conservative in a new memoir
When he was 8, Mark Morris decided that he was going to become a flamenco dancer. The future dancer and choreographer’s mother had taken him to the Seattle Opera House to watch José Greco, the great flamenco dancer who popularized the form in the U.S. “I saw it, I loved it,” Mr. Morris says.
But he didn’t stop at flamenco. He was soon cramming his feet into Tupperware juice glasses to imitate his sister walking on pointe in her ballet shoes. By 13, he was spending six evenings a week with a local Balkan dance commune, enthralled by the group’s rhythmic folk dances and community spirit.
