An anonymous jointed wooden dancer extends its arms and lifts one knee, balanced on a brass central pivot above a shallow circular wooden stage inset with a brass ring on pale grey and lilac ground. — Original artwork

The soul of the philosopher lies wake in their head The soul of the poet soars in their heart The soul of the singer vibrates in their throat. But the soul of the dancer lives in all of their body.

Khalil Gibran
