Summary

NFL football player George Martin, American Ballet Theatre dancers Christine Spizzo and Frank Smith, and labor lawyer Leonard Liebowitz discuss some of the problems shared by dancers and athletes during strikes and lockouts, including loss of physical conditioning, increased risk of injury upon resumption of activity, loss of income, and the dangers of activism. They comment upon dancers' low financial standing and reluctance to demand due compensation in the past, and the need for change. In Esoterica balletica, David Anderson tells anecdotes related by Walter Terry about Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn.
