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

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

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.

And dance is wonderful because dance is so immediate.

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

SDC has a great reputation for putting live music on stage.

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