People know that theyre going to see something which is entertaining but challenging as well because of the form its in. Its dance theatre and it requires you to use your imagination – its not straight forward. – Matthew Bourne
Im very conscious that I want the dance audience to respond and respect what Im doing, so Im always very true to the music and I honour the music in the way I see it – I dont mess around with the music. – Matthew Bourne
When it comes down to it, its giving people a good night out in a basic way and I think my company guarantees that. Theres always something new and something to excite us and surprise us, and thats why people come back, I hope. – Matthew Bourne
Its a great excuse and luxury, having a job and blaming it for your inability to do your own art. When you dont have to work, you are left with the horror of facing your own lack of imagination and your own emptiness. A devastating possibility when finally time is your own. – Julian Schnabel
