And dance is wonderful because dance is so immediate.

And currently, there are four to five new works in the pipeline for upcoming celebrations such as the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Australian Federation, my 50th Birthday, and Sydney Dance Company's 25th Anniversary.

It's the emotional trigger points that are important to me because I know if I could believe in the characters and try and imagine how they felt then I'd be able to do something quite honest.

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

I'm interested in people who can take the movement somewhere.

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

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