“Dance Is Spirit Moving
The Body”
— Mike Tyus
“this dancing figure kept catching my eye as he spun his body like a beautiful broken doll around rooftops and city bridges, flinging himself across concrete landscapes to break free of gravity’s shackles.”
“Mike Tyus’ limber Trickster, wearing nicely tailored candy-colored suits, makes for a devilish ringleader”
““So dance is just a medium that I play with. It’s one of the colours on the spectrum that I can choose from in order to make this character come to life.””
— Mike Tyus
“A few months ago at the Broad museum in downtown Los Angeles, curators invited more than a dozen area dancers, musicians and poets to explore the galleries and create or adapt works inspired by what they saw.”
“I grew up with an affinity for moving. I couldn’t stop, so my parents threw me into classes.”
-Mike Tyus
"As soon as I feel I stop dancing, I stop living."
