inspired people piece surprise theater
It's a piece of theater that's been inspired by a movie that we all love. But it has to surprise people who know the film really well.
until
Sometimes you don't know what you've got until you put it in front of an audience - and the enthusiasm for the show from the audience has been just incredible.
audience conscious honour mess music respect respond true
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.
few people
A lot of the people who have come to know the company in the last few years will not have seen this piece.
successful journey reason
The reason I'm travelling so much is because of reasons that weren't completely planned. Several of the shows became successful and were invited to go to other places and they've all happened at similar times.
