Yes to spectacle. Yes to virtuosity. Yes to transformations and magic and make-believe. Yes to the glamour and transcendency of the star image. Yes to the heroic. Yes to the anti-heroic. Yes to trash imagery. Yes to the involvement of the performer or spectator. Yes to style. Yes to camp. Yes to seduction by the wiles of the performer. Yes to eccentricity. Yes to moving or being moved. Michael Clark, Yes Manifesto, 1984 A response to artist choreographer Yvonne Rainer’s ‘No Manifesto’, 1965, and First Lady Nancy Reagan’s ‘Just Say No’ anti-drugs campaign, 1982
