​“Obviously I think a lot about Mr. Ailey, being in this position... I was thinking about that chaos when the leader is no longer physically there. Through the abstraction of the dance, the community tries to stay together. And then this reluctant prophet is born out of the group, but stays attached like an umbilical cord, and goes back into the group.” — Robert Battle ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 Throwback to 'A Day in the Life of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's Robert Battle' [Robert Battle at The Ailey Extension.
