True, any art derives part of its meanings from motion or motionlessness. Motion and motionlessness, like sound and silence, enhance each other. Sculpture and painting use those negative and positive poles in their motionless masses or flowing contours. These arts suggest movement without employing actual movement. On the other hand, the cinema, the drama to a lesser extent, and the dance above all, use actual movement to make manifest their meanings. The dance then is truly a movement art: its medium is movement; its instrument, the human body.en-USHill (1900-1995), MarthaGraham (1894-1991), MarthaSymposium on Modernism in the Arts: The Dance
