Henry's Own Words is a pure-movement work inspired by a poem written by Henry Clews, Jr., who resided in a medieval castle in La Napoule, France from 1918 until his death in 1937. Glenn visited the castle while on tour as a member of the Nikolais and Murray Louis Dance Company in 1991. After choreographing Henry's Own Words in 1994, Glenn continued his research on Clews with a 10-day return visit to the castle in 1998, and subsequently produced Whistling Doves: An Evening of Multimedia Dance Theater in 1999, as his MFA thesis project at The Ohio State University.
