Kazuo Ohno on technique and motivation

"Before employing techniques, the question of mind, spirit or life must be considered. When choreographing, for example, if you consider techniques and apply them to dance, somehow in the process the most crucial part disappears. If the technique comes first in dancing, well, why should we bother dancing? We don't depend on techniques to live. Rather, I myself have experienced that the more techniques are employed, the more they push aside what is crucial. I don't need techniques to lead my life after death. I try to ignore techniques and structures and focus on the spiritual. That's what I strive to achieve in my dancing."

"What can you teach? Not art, that's impossible. Contrary to the common view, art can't be taught. I believe that a piece of work comes out naturally from a human being just like one human being comes out of another. I think I've been taught through dancing. The way I am now has been brought about naturally, while dancing, and from its teaching. I've danced Life, and Life has taught me. So I just follow Life..."

"To be alive, even walking as if rooted to the ground, must have life in it. Not just walking like...this...You must have life coming out of you!"

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to.”
