...Genet's "The Blacks" at the Loeb in 1970. For his evening on May 14 he plans to do ten different works, in a style he calls "dance-drama." He loves working with his dancers in a class situation and has a great support with them, but "if an artist works at his craft I think it's feasible for him to express this in front of an audience."

"He's a con artist. He thinks up elaborate, wily tricks, and I enjoy him." Most of his tricks are directed against his son Lament (Demond Wilson) to keep him from marrying and leaving home.
