‘I danced and music was my inspiration. I always choreographed and made performance and I naturally fell into directing opera during the Walking the Downs project.’
‘I was working with composer Jonathan Dove and he invited me to a gathering of all sorts of artists at Glyndebourne. I got chosen to work on Walking the Downs from that event.’
‘I can’t think of anything more fulfilling. The joy of encouraging the potential in everybody to create art is wonderful work.’
‘Too many to pick one: 7 years with Glyndebourne Youth Opera Group [now Glyndebourne Youth Opera].’
‘You never know what might happen – what you might enjoy, feel and experience so give it a go.’
