“The
dance demands everything from the dancer. During
her lifetime of commitment to it, Gabrielle Roth
has given just that; everything. She is an artist
in the true sense of the word. She has taken her
own life and the challenges of the times we live
in as the raw material for her creations. In her
teaching, in her writing, in her music, in her
style, she has woven an intricate web of inspiration
for anyone living in a body, no matter their background,
culture or experience. Her work invites the very
best in us to come to the fore, take hold of the
reins and create. With her, every experience becomes
an opportunity for art. Her invocations are not
abstract. They call upon the soul to show its colours,
its shapes, its natural generosity of spirit. They
call upon the humanity of whoever she is with to
transform suffering into experience, and experience
into offering.
Her work is simple and profound. It is medicine for our times. And though she is
without doubt a woman of our times, the very nature
of who she is and what she has created, is timeless."
