मैंने डरबन से एक टैप डांसर के रूप में शुरुआत की, जो कि समुद्र तट के पास है। वह मेरे बड़े होने का एक अहम हिस्सा था, जब मैं सुबह रेडियो चालू करती थी और ज़ुलु गीत या ज़ुलु में समाचार सुनती थी।

I started as a tap dancer in Durban, which is on the coast. That was an important part of growing up, turning on the radio in the morning and hearing Zulu singing or the news in Zulu.

मैं अक्सर भारतीय नृत्य की कक्षा में अकेली गोरी लड़की हुआ करती थी। यह थोड़ा अजीब लगता था, लेकिन भारतीय नृत्य सीखना बहुत शानदार अनुभव था।

I was often the only white girl in the Indian dance class. That felt funny, but doing Indian dance was great.

मैं अमेरिकी कलाकारों से मिली थी और उनकी ऊर्जा पर विश्वास नहीं कर पा रही थी। लंदन में किसी भी चीज़ को आगे बढ़ाना हमेशा से बहुत संघर्षपूर्ण रहा था।

I had met American artists and just couldn't believe their energy. London was always such a struggle to get anything going.

मेरे पिता एक डॉक्टर थे। वह एक बेहतरीन इंसान, सौम्य मानवतावादी और पुराने जमाने के जनरल प्रैक्टिशनर (GP) थे। यदि मरीजों को जरूरत होती थी, तो वह अलग-अलग इलाकों में जाकर उन्हें देखने के लिए रात के तीन बजे भी उठ जाते थे।

My father was a doctor. He was just a great guy, a gentle humanist, and an old-fashioned GP. He'd get up at three in the morning to see patients in different areas if they needed him.

मैं एक नर्तकी के रूप में बड़ी हुई हूँ। मैंने टैप डांस, क्लासिकल बैले और वह सब कुछ किया। मैंने भारतीय नृत्य यानी भरतनाट्यम भी सीखा, जो मूल रूप से मद्रास का शास्त्रीय मंदिर नृत्य है। मेरी माँ का हमेशा से यही शानदार विचार था कि मुझे इसे सीखना चाहिए।

I grew up as a dancer. I did tap, classical ballet, all of that. I did Indian dancing, or Bharata Natyam, classic temple dancing from Madras, originally. My mother always had the great idea that I should learn it.

परफॉरमेंस आर्ट वास्तव में कलाकार के समाजशास्त्र के बारे में है, यह इस बात की पड़ताल है कि विचार कहाँ से आते हैं और उन विचारों का संगम कैसे होता है।

Performance art is really about the sociology of the artist, where ideas come from, and the confluence of those ideas.

मुझे लगता है कि कला का काम हमेशा से हमें दुनिया को एक बिल्कुल अलग नजरिए से दिखाना रहा है, और मेरा मतलब सिर्फ रंगों और रोशनी से नहीं है, बल्कि रिश्तों, स्थानिक (स्पेशियल) रिश्तों और मनोवैज्ञानिक रिश्तों पर दोबारा सोचने से है... जो लोग कला की दुनिया की तरफ खिंचे चले आते हैं, वे असल में उलझन में पड़ना पसंद करते हैं।

I think what art is always doing is making us see the world so differently, and I don't mean just colors and light, but re-thinking relationships, spatial relationships, psychological relationships ... those who gravitate to the art world actually want to be puzzled.

जहाँ तक मेरा सवाल है, 20वीं सदी परफॉरमेंस-प्रधान थी, लेकिन न जाने क्यों, समीक्षकों और इतिहासकारों को यह समझ नहीं आया कि इसे कैसे शामिल किया जाए।

As far as I'm concerned, the 20th century was performance-driven, but for some reason, the critics and historians didn't know how to integrate that.

मेरे कला इतिहास के शोध-पत्र असल में राजनीति पर आधारित थे। वे राजनीतिक घटनाओं के आईने में संस्कृति के प्रकटीकरण के बारे में थे। इसलिए एक ही जगह, एक ही अनुशासन या एक ही माध्यम तक सीमित न रहने की वह जिद हमेशा बनी रही।

My art history papers were really politics. They were about the manifestation of culture through the eye of political events. So there was always that refusal to settle in one place, or one discipline or medium.

एक पल ऐसा आता है जब आप कहते हैं, "ठीक है, मैं न तो नर्तक बनने जा रहा हूँ और न ही चित्रकार।" इसलिए एक तरह से, मैं उन बड़े अंतद्वंद्वों के बारे में लिखने लगा जिन्हें मैं महसूस करता था।

There's a moment when you say, "Okay, I'm not going to become a dancer. I'm not going to become a painter." So in a sense, I ended up writing about those big conflicts that I felt.

पहले दिन से ही मेरा विचार संस्कृति को एक बहुत ही व्यापक रूप में खोजने के लिए गैलरी को एक जीवंत स्थान के रूप में उपयोग करना था।

From day one, my idea was always to use the gallery as this animated place to discover culture in a much bigger way.

उस समय दक्षिण अफ्रीका में बड़े होना बहुत दिलचस्प था। वह अनुभव असाधारण था। वह किसी मुद्दे के बनने से पहले ही बहुसंस्कृतिवाद (मल्टीकल्चरलिज्म) का दौर था।
