I’ve always thought of the process of creating ballets as being this kind of team effort. It’s not like being a painter, where you have your paint, and you have canvas, and you just go at it. I’m working with these living, breathing, functioning human beings, and they have their own thoughts and ideas about what works well movement-wise.

The future of ballet is really in the hands of the creators, so if it’s something that interests them to push the envelope with gender roles, then I think it will change.

But as dancers, we always check ourselves in the mirror. I do feel that when I choreograph, I am making a dance on my own body. Much of it is my own response to the music.

Partnerships are increasingly seen through the prism of promises and expectations, and as a kind of product for consumers: satisfaction on the spot, and if not fully satisfied, return the product to the shop or replace it with a new and improved one! You don’t, after all, stick to your car, or computer, or iPod, when better ones appear.

In a consumer society, people wallow in things, fascinating, enjoyable things. If you define your value by the things you acquire and surround yourself with, being excluded is humiliating.
