The major influences/mentors in my work have been

the dancers and designers with whom I have

collaborated. All of them brought and bring a body of

artistic knowledge and experience that informs my

work. The dancers have also taught me the

sometimes difficult but crucially important lessons

about being a director, artistic director and

collaborator – lessons for which I am indebted to

them. As someone who struck out on my own very

early, I was basically self-taught as a choreographer.

My peers played the mentoring role for me and

continue to perform that function today. I thrive on

feedback and continually call on my artist friends to

act as second readers for my work as they develop.
