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

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.

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

No one was creating and I always wanted to be created on.

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.

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.

For me it was really important to get the essence out of the music for the story and not, sort of, press the music into the service of the whimsical telling of it.
