My company is known for being funny as well as moving. You get a bit of everything in these shows. I think people know they`re going to have a surprising experience.
It`s one of the things that looks good written down, but the reality is that you think about the pieces you`re doing and try to bear in mind everyone in the audience.
It`s one of my strongest dance pieces - having just done Play Without Words which was veering away from a lot of dance - I thought it would be nice to go back to something with almost the most dance I`d done.
I`m very conscious that I want the dance audience to respond and respect what I`m doing, so I`m always very true to the music and I honour the music in the way I see it - I don`t mess around with the music.
I saw the Nutcracker to be a dummy as I thought of its mouth moving like a nutcracker - and also find them pretty scary as they almost have a life of their own.
