  • Your responses...

  • Therese G. - I'm continually inspired by such innovative and pioneering choreographers such as Crystal Pite, William Forsythe and Jiri Kylian. Such storytellers in pure poetic movement that drives and inspires me every time I witness their work.
  • Rachel T. - When I'm working, I'm most inspired by my dancers. My choreography doesn't take shape until I'm in the studio with my dancers. Watching them perform a new phrase or discussing a concept with them inspires me to expand the idea in directions that I couldn't have come up with on my own.
  • Andrea S. - Different choreographers inspire me for different reasons, but definitely giants such as Balanchine, Kylian and Forsythe.
