 An Interview with
Arthur Pita
One of the most amusing and delightful interviews I had was with Arthur
Pita. Arthur is 29 one of the "older boys" he says but he only
looks 22 to me! more
 Faces behind the make-up - Part
2
One of the most fascinating faces that I have photographed in a long time
belongs to Nanette Kincaid. For some reason I kept thinking of her as
"Nadia" - that because sort of a running joke. more
 An Interview with Kevin Muscat
A short chat with Kevin Muscat revealed more than just a small town
boy making it big in the big city, but a small island boy finding his
place in life through dance. more
 Faces behind the make-up - Part 1
While shooting the Car Man company one of the things that evolved was
creating headshots for those dancers that needed or wanted them. So,
for your viewing enjoyment a series of faces behind the makeup. more
 An
interview with Darren J. Fawthrop
My very first question makes Darren explode in laughter. While doing my research, I uncovered what I found to be a highly unlikely contest won last year by one Darren Fawthrop - a "Strongest Man" competition. And Mr. Fawthrop was the winner. Was this the same Darren J. Fawthrop that sat before me? more

 An
Interview with Adam Galbraith
Watching Adam Galbraith dance is like watching power in motion. And the pleasure he derives from performing is palpable. He is a very masculine figure on stage that the eye automatically follows. more
 An
Interview with Andrew Corbett
A brief talk with dancer Andrew Corbett reveals a rather quiet and private man who likes the calm of sitting on a beach and exploring designer hotels with his partner Lawrence Hurwitz. more
 An
Interview with Will Kemp, The James Dean of Dance
James Dean is staring at me. Hanging from the mirror in Will Kemp's dressing
room, the postcard of the brooding icon draws you like a moth to a light,
oddly, the only personal effect in the room. more
 Company

Valentina Formenti trained at the London Contemporary Dance School and the 4D Dance Group. more
 Company
in Class - Part 2
Dancer Nina Goldman takes a breather after class. more
 An
Interview with Neil Penlington, Dance Captain
What's foremost on Neil's mind today? Planning a quick overnight trip to
the desert for a trip to the desert hot springs. And who says dancers
can't relax? more
 Company

Etta Murfitt and Ewan Wardrop rehearse the roles of Rita and Angelo. more

through contemporary moves. more
 Boys
Having Fun
Boys just want to have fun posing for pictures. more
 Prince
of a Company
Scott Ambler is a prince of a guy. Not a 'real' prince mind you but just
an all-round good-guy kinda-prince. more
 It's
all in the Mascara

meets with Matthew Bourne
Meeting with Matthew Bourne is rather like being in the eye of a
hurricane... more

become stories in and of themselves, captivating you, drawing you into his
world of stage, movie musicals and classic film references. more
An Essay by Bourne
"The Car Man" was my first new show in three years and a lot of people asked
me initially, "Why Carmen?" more
 An
interview with Richard Winsor
He's tall, blond and good-looking - like the quintessential ballet
cavalier, but standing in the back row holding a spear is not for him,
declared dancer Richard Winsor. more

Chapman trained at the English National Ballet
School and the City Lit Drama School. more
