Dancer

“The mark of a great dancer like Goddard, one you can’t take your eyes off, is that watching him you might start to understand what people mean by communicating through movement.

This is a man whose gracefully elastic body really speaks. You can see the sentences and phrases, the accents and intonation. He finds nuance where you didn’t realise you were missing it.”

The Guardian
