Lives in London, England and Brussels, Belgium,
Born 1960, Bishop Auckland, England
When I think about the work I'm involved in, it seems that each piece comes from a different perspective, but somehow arrives at the same questions. Why to dance? What is a performance? What else can it be? Should I know what I'm doing? What do I do when I don't know what I'm doing? Can a dance also show weakness? What is the love between dance and music? Am I asking questions that have already been asked? Can I accept the contradictions? Can I simplify all this?
