EDITORIAL
THE SLEUTHSAYER
"Before man can do anything, he must draw breath, he must move," begins The Book of the Dance by Agnes De Mille. "Movement is the source and condition of life. The elements of dance are space, time, and human bodies." For this soaring tribute to "Dirty Dancers," Sleuth made the space and the time. A higher power made the bodies.
"Actually I don't feel very comfortable doing nude scenes," admits sinuous Sandahl Bergman {p. 68}. "But All That Jazz was different because it was within what I do as a dancer. Dancing is about the body. People thought that scene was erotic because most dancers are covered up in costume."
Not any more...
"When a dance performance succeeds," a leading choreographer notes, "energy flows back and forth between performers and audience, and exciting, unpredictable things can happen." Like when the late Andy Warhol attended a performance of the dance musical Cats on November 27, 1982: "We had front-row seats," he wrote that night in his diary, and "I noticed the pussies of the girls in the cat suits. You could see the slits up their fronts. They should really wear pads. But oh, you could just see everything! Oh, those pussies {perhaps the name Cats was a euphemism?}. You could see
the—cracks—and the lips—of the—the--the vulva. Okay? That's how outlined it was."
New York City ballerina Toni Bentley, acclaimed author of A Dancer's Journal, outlines why: "We are hairless. We have no leg hairs, no pubic hair... Any sign of stubble must be closely watched out for and removed. We have a different bodily structure than most humans. Bras are a problem. None is small enough...we usually resort to Teenform training bras, the ones most girls wear in the sixth grade. In the end," Bentley concludes, "there is only the final product—no cheating, no cover-ups. One is bare, naked, exposed. And how we loved it, that exposure." Glad to be your partner...
