In spring 1991, going back to college, fresh from 33-day Bush, Sr war with Iraq, I taught students Strindberg's The Dance of Death. During consulting references for preparing my lectures, I saw a still of Laurence Olivier doing the captain's dance in the play. In my own peculiar ways I demonstrated to the students a replica of the way Olivier has lifted his left leg, put his hands around his hips, and tightened his lips, which methought was the definitive version of that unforgettable dance. You directed Dance, I would wish to have an envisioning of the way you made your actor do that unique dance
