“I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.”
Anais Nin
“Bob Fosse was one of the greatest creative taskmasters I know; applying discipline and hard work he allowed the artists to express his creative ability.”

“The Emerging Artist program is designed to encourage young artists and give them a place to show their work.”

“Every artist was first an amateur.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
