Kirjoittajan suomentama alkuperäinen lainaus on seuraavanlainen: “in improvising, I am in the process of creating the dance itself out of the possibilities which are mine at any moment of the dance [– ] I am exploring the world in movement; that is, at the same time that I am moving, I am taking into account the world that exists for me here and now [– ] I am wondering the world directly, in movement; I am actively exploring its possibilities and what I perceive in the course of that wondering or exploration is enfolded in the very process of moving.” Sheets-Johnstone 1981, 403.
