By GAIL BLUMBERG b
To choreographer Erick Hawk-
ins the art of dance is contem-
porary; it is a mature- expression,
an exploration of pure movement,
a sensual glorification of being.
As a dancer first, and then as a
choreographer, Hawkins has been
intimately involved in the develop-
ment of the modern dance. Orig-
inally trained in Greek literature
and art, he began his study of the
modern dance with Harald Kre--
utzberg and Martha Graham.
Hawkins. is responsible for a new
concept in the collaboration of
music and dance, as well as for a
modern theory of time and dura-
tion in movement.
His definition of the dance is
modern and concise:
True Movement
"The most beautiful dance is
violent clarity. It is effortless and
spontaneous. It is dance that ded-
icatedly loves the pure fact of
movement; that knows true. move-
ment to start in the pelvis and
spine, the center of the body, and
to flow into the tassel-like legs,
arms and head.
"Suen dance must sense itself
and the music instant by in-
stant. It loves time-time as a
sensed duration with all the subtle
asymmetrical divisions of time.
Yet, it always is the pulse of time.
"Dance that is sound in psyche
and body always produces rhy-.
thmical movement. Movement and
n.usic put together witho at a com-
mon pulse' is two people talking
to you at the same time."
New Stress
Modern dance came into exist-
tence around 1927. It brought a
new sense of the physical, Hawk-
ins said. It destroyed the lifeless
two-dimensional theatre, replacing
it with the first successful "vocab-
ulary" for mature ideas in the
Western world.
Art must live in the present and
completely express that present,
Hawkins said. "Because methods
of expression in art have produced
fine results in the past, they can-
not be retained out of adoration
or of safety. Once new possibili-
ties appear, any art has to change.
"Once Isadora Duncan danced
without toe shoes, then without
any shoes, and without a tutu, the
toe shoe and tutu were dead for
us in America," he commented.
Larger Principle
The change in any art, Hawk-
ins explained, cannot be the addi-
tion of a modernized facade. Mod-
ern dance is a larger technical

ERICK HAWKINS-"Modern dance is a metaphor of existence."
principle than all Western dance.
It is scientificaly more accurate
and aesthetically more capable of
contemporary expression.
The theory of classical ballet
technique, he recalled, was, orig-
inated in the Renaissance, when
the body was regarded diagram-
matically. It resulted in a two-
dimensional mode with static po-
sitions.
It excluded the sensuousness ex-
perienced in the movement of
the dancer: It restrained the body
from developing its '"fullest po-
tential without the imposition of
any external concept or artifi-
ciality.
Movement 'Vocabulary'
"The movement 'vocabulary' of
a well trained modern dancer may
include r aspects of movement
which ballet has used previously.'
But their former usage doesn't
make them 'ballet.'
"They are human movements
in use all over the world. As such,
they can be successfully incor-
porated in the new principles of
movement and aesthetics of the
modern dance," Hawkins said.
Hawkins work is choreographed
without music, in silence. In pre-
vious dance forms, movement was
created to conform to the music.
We have no tradition of form
for movement in the West, Hawk-
ins declared. "Too often the temp-
tation has been for the dance to
borrow musical form."
Independent Development
"Movement created in silence
could not use the music as a
crutch. The form deeply inherent
to movement would have a chance
to discover itself."
After the dance is composed,
music is commissioned. The col-
laboration has become artistically
independent; the poetry exists in
the space between the two crea-
tions.
In costumes, a sense of sculpture
in motion is not enough. The
excitement of a visual image
touching a human body is neces-
sary to contribute to the art as a,
unified whole.
