 | | In addition to her own work, Robinson consistently offered NDT as a venue to emerging regional choreographers like Francine Boucher, Diane Moore, Leica Hardy, Gwen Noah, Duncan Holt, and Louise Hoyt, and also commissioned works from out-of-town artists such as Beverly Brown, Barbara Dilley and Jennifer Mascall. |
 | | A spiritual seeker who is now a lay-ordained Soto Zen Buddhist, Robinson speaks of her dances as "moving koans, visual parables that came to me and demanded to be realized." After seeing her dance, her Zen teacher, Tenshin Reb Anderson, named her Buchi Eihei-dancing wisdom, eternal peace. |
 | | Works such as reMembering (1981), Dance for Changing Parts (1982), Grecia (1985), and Indices of Refraction (1985) reflected her ongoing spiritual inquiry, but it was not until Zenki-zu, created for Vancouver's 1992 Women In View Festival, that Robinson permitted herself any overt references to Buddhism. |
