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

I always figure I have this tree and there's always some green fruit that's not ready to pick or blossoms that are ready to flower; there are always some ready to drop off too.

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

There's a line of dancers waiting to get into Sydney Dance Company.

Normally our season is seven weeks in the Drama Theatre and four weeks in the Opera Theater.

I actually build my dreams around the dancers I've got in my company.

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