	Robert Moses
		Robert Moses (1888-1981) received the Pugsley Gold Medal "for his services in extending and developing the parks and parkways in Greater New York." He was the single most powerful individual in the city and state of New York in the twentieth century.
		Moses saw opportunities for such parks on Long Island; convinced Governor Smith of their potential importance; got Smith to support state legislation to create the Long Island State Parks Commission; drafted the legislation so that absolute and far-reaching power was invested in the Commission president; then Moses was appointed president.
		Moses was a product of the progressive playground movement and viewed all parks as places for active, wholesome play, for ball fields, tennis courts, swimming pools, and playgrounds; he believed in recreation, not conservation.

		The man Moses: the man who built most of New York's parks, bridges, roads; a visionary with a knack for implementation; a tyrant for his staff, a brillant go-getter without scruples, a genius at manipulating politicians, a sick egomaniac; in other words, a typical boss from hell.

	REVIEW / Moses troupe marks decade of daring dance
		The 10th anniversary of Moses' troupe, Robert Moses' Kin, is cause to celebrate.
		Moses is a choreographer of impressive emotional range, and in his works about the African American experience especially, sparks fly.
		Better yet was Moses himself in his 1998 solo "Doscognio." Funny in its pointed musicality (Moses' hand flutters to a cascading piano refrain), it's a sometimes clever, ultimately soulful response to Chopin's Sonata Opus 65.

	Robert Moses Kin Review from Ballet.co
		Moses' own movement and his choreographic patterns exude enormous fluidity, many small sudden impulses and gestures, frequently to the face and head, and frequently extraordinary flexibility in the torso.
		Had Moses been born into Indian culture, he might well have become a master of Indian gesture language,abhinaya.
		So, when Moses is protesting, one sees fluidity, close encounters amongst the company members, and the gestures become instruments of the agitation and chaos around the action, indicators of violence and chaos.
