Alastair Macaulay: “I don’t like to sit close to dancing in theaters: I have to feel the whole stage space around and above the dancers. It matters to me how even tiny effects of dancing can register in the depths and heights of a vast space. The marvel of Liberty is that her stance and her gesture radiate for miles. The emotion she generates keeps changing, according to angle, distance, time of day, weather and light.”
