	Salon: Mark Morris
		Ever since founding his own company, the Mark Morris Dance Group, in 1980, the 40-year-old choreographer has been setting off alarms all around the world with dances exploring an extraordinary range of subjects: lust and childhood fears, cowboys and Tamil Indians, the archetypal suffering and purgation of myth, heartaches and Gershwin.
		The legendary dancer was performing with the White Oak Project, a group Morris and Baryshnikov formed in 1990 to encourage emerging choreographers and dancers.
		Morris was seated on the floor when I entered, simultaneously listening to British music hall tunes from the 1940s -- part of his endless, ongoing search for sources to inspire new pieces -- and stretching his long legs in limbering-up exercises.

		Sontag had not seen Mark Morris dance when she wrote "Notes on 'Camp'" (he was eight years old at the time, and was not to form his company for another sixteen years), but something of what made her write that essay also made her able to love his work when she later saw it.
		The Mark Morris Dance Group, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in March, is performing this summer at the London Coliseum (in June and July) and at Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart festival (in August).

		Morris chose Delibes's work primarily for the score, but also for its libretto, which the choreographer found to be unusual in a classical ballet.
		Morris is known for his fresh approach to both modern dance and classical ballet, a reputation that has earned him the distinction of being one of America's youngest certified national treasures.
		Instead of having his dancers awe their audiences with a series of difficult moves, Morris tries to instill in his performers a sense of the meaning of the piece so that they may use their skills to express the narrative in ways that are both spontaneous and subtly nuanced.
