It was not like I planned even to be a choreographer. It just happened to me somehow.

What I try to do is find a language for life.

There are situations of course that leave you utterly speechless. All you can do is hint at things. Words, too, can’t do more than just evoke things. That’s where dance comes in again.

To understand what I am saying, you have to believe that dance is something other than technique. We forget where the movements come from. They are born from life. When you create a new work, the point of departure must be contemporary life – not existing forms of dance.

I didn’t want to imitate anybody. Any movement I knew, I didn’t want to use.

I want to feel something, as a person. I don’t want to be bored.

I’m not interested in how people move; I’m interested in what makes them move.

I'm not interested in how people move; I'm interested in what makes them move.

Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost.

Repetition is not repetition, ... The same action makes you feel something completely different by the end
