“So what were you imagining when you decided to make that piece?” Is probably the one question I get asked the most.

You don’t imagine art. You do it.

A choreographic work is something which takes shape, matures and reveals itself slowly. You have to wait and see what it becomes. The only thing that is under your control, is moving with clarity. Staying attentive and observant. Reacting to what the work asks of you. Creating a space which facilitates growth, evolution and coming into full being.

And then, letting it die.

Choreographic works are a living organism. They die eventually. They stop being. Keeping choreographic works alive after they died, is like mechanically keeping a person alive after brain death.

‘Dance experts’, love dead choreographic works. They call it - repertoire. Repertoire, is good for business. And politics.
