When I look at the people who are the guiding figures in modern dance, I think, 'This does not look to me like the way I want to spend my days.'

What we want from modern dance is courage and audacity.

I would have to challenge the term, modern dance. I don't really use that term in relation to my work. I simply think of it as dancing. I think of it as moving.

A lot of people insisted on a wall between modern dance and ballet. I'm beginning to think that walls are very unhealthy things.

I see dance as glue for a community.

I used to dance when I was younger - ballet and modern dance.
