I am now obsessed with the technology of the body. I think it's the most technologically literate thing that we have.

'Entity' is not about science. The process behind it may dictate the nature of the piece, but it's not like a dance about Einstein where I'm trying to convert his ideas into movement and communicate that to an audience.

I think it's the responsibility of a major opera house not only to cultivate debate and get people thinking, but also to be interfaced with things that challenge them. To challenge its audience and not just deliver things that they know, even though some of those things are wonderful.

I enjoy my work too much to force-feed myself with pressure.

I like to practise. With every new piece, you make mistakes and you learn. So it's important to get on and have another go.

Unlike a lot of choreographers, I don't always start with the music. I often start with a visual artist, and then find music that fits the world of that visual artist.

For me, choreography is a process of physical thinking. It's very much in mind as well as in body.
