- Jennifer Monson: I think that my dance work often pulls together things that sort of resonate with how I experience myself as a human and, often use a word like civilized, or there are also more problematic, and there is something wild or natural. And those are terms that we embody in this kind of conflict and the dancing. So I think that is sort of center of where my dance work comes from. That's what I am trying to figure out ways of understanding or knowing or evoking those kinds of contradictions.
- Jennifer Monson: I started with some processes that developed from the idea that I had of water. Things about flow or absorbing or solutions that dissolve and saturate. And I read about water and that's the images that float around in my life for a while. Also I worked a lot with the systems of the body. I feel like there is kind of parallel between how we understand the fluids in the body, how we understand the water, the body is 80% of water, and in a lot of... my work, I deal with the relationality and understanding the systems of the body and images that shift and change and generate movement. That's sort of what I work with.
- Beth Gill: I discovered for myself this kind of interesting and curious and also problematic thing about what I like to look at, which is, you know, there is a real interest for me in looking at the body as an object in working in very tedious and precise ways to create an exactitude, like inside the body in space, because I feel like that kind of precision lends itself to this kind of object-ness of the body.
- Beth Gill: I feel like that is, again, back to this issue of how you decide what you want to do, how you decide what, you know, like for me at least figuring out what feels important and what feels necessary to me. That is also I think part of a sort of post-postmodern condition that you know, when everything is referential, when originality or innovation feels almost like impossibility at this stage, how do you figure out what you want to do? I think the best way that I found, and I think this is probably typical nowadays, is you kind of retreat into yourself and figure out what is really necessary or important for you.
