If the year 2000 can help us move into the future, that's fine, but I am afraid that people see it as a full stop and that one can take a big breath afterwards - you can't.

I'm not interested in a group of people with some sort of incredible homogeny,a group that can do the movement I want. I'm interested in people whocan take the movement somewhere.

Some are less giving, others are more reticent and you actually have to create for them. Others have within them the next step.

Mostly, I'm in the very enviable position that no one dictates what I do.

Sydney is a very good market for us - we have a very strong following here.

I'm in the position to pick the cream of the crop.

I look at the dancers and I get the inspiration for the work from them.
