divining

"I know the music of Scriabin well and it was suggested that I use it for a piece. The idea of collaborating with a pianist, to have live music accompanying a piece, was something that really appealed to me and I knew it was a challenge I simply had to take on.

For me music is magic - truly magical - and it's a journey. We took this performance from a completely different approach to the normal process. Usually the lighting is done last, but this time we did it first.

It's a very personal piece, a very intimate work.....revealing. It's almost autobiographical - it's about the dancers, their personalities, their history.
The choreography has so many personal touches. It moves from a very dark, almost satanic place towards the light and towards ecstacy. While I was creating this piece I thought this is unfashionable but this is the way to go.

To me , Divining is loaded. It's passionate.
The piece in a way is ......fulfilled"
