"I have experienced a lot from the participants. Most of my choreography comes from the participants - the expressions, their ideas (especially the ideas of young people), their views, and their reflections on observing something or hearing a piece of music. From speaking about it; and just reflecting on feelings that arise from it, I find that I'm able to just create.

It's just a fascinating experience where there are no boundaries of rules or definitions in the geographic form, It was so important to involve what is natural with the participants. So often I go into the duration of the project without a set choreography, apart from some basic background moves, where they're so simple, that almost anybody could follow. And I think that was a big success for Bollywood dancing.

We ventured into regional Kalgoorlie (Western Australia) where we were involved with the dance forms of the indigenous people of Australia. That was very special and we learned to understand the culture and the requirements - and to respect the framework surrounding art - the requirements, the sensitivities. The indigenous people have just an amazing connection with our Earth and nature, which is so often a struggle to verbalize in the English language - and the fact that they were so willing to share it in the art form is simply amazing. It is my hope to involve more Australian schools in the expression of indigenous art forms and the appreciation of it.
