"My company is known for being funny as well as moving. You get a bit of everything in these shows. I think people know they're going to have a surprising experience."

Experience

"People know that they're going to see something which is entertaining but challenging as well because of the form it's in. It's dance theatre and it requires you to use your imagination - it's not straight forward."

Success

Thought

"A lot of the people who have come to know the company in the last few years will not have seen this piece."

Enthusiasm

Life

Mind

"When it comes down to it, it's giving people a good night out in a basic way and I think my company guarantees that. There's always something new and something to excite us and surprise us, and that's why people come back, I hope."
