I am sorry not to be able to join you in person today, but I am glad for the chance to participate in this opportunity to honor Marcia Siegel. Marcia and I taught together in the Department of Performance Studies at New York University from 1985, when I joined the faculty, until her retirement in 1999. And I was honored when she came to do a workshop and speak in my class at Stanford when I began teaching there in 2003. Many of you in attendance today know the beauty and rigor of Marcia's writing about dance, so perhaps it might be better if I spend my time sharing some aspects of Marcia's work that might be less well known to you.
