Siobhan Davies quotes
" But I don't want my company to get incredibly large, nor can I be responsible for masses of people, nor do all those good dancers necessarily want to work for me, for a long period of time anyway - but what they might want is a period of time to look at this work, find out about it, and move on. "

Siobhan Davies
" I don't start a piece knowing exactly what effect it's going to have. There is a seed of an idea that I could never articulate, right at the beginning of the piece, literally like one cell. "

Siobhan Davies
" If I only made dances about my own experience in dance, it would always be on my track, and I don't want that, I want to be on the track of where dance can take me. "

Siobhan Davies
" Independent dance - and, fine, it's a very good thing that it remains independent - is a much tougher life: all dancers expect that, and accept that there will be periods of not being able to work, provided there are choice moments during the year when they really can work. "

Siobhan Davies
" It's not just for its influence on us, but to know that we can play a part in it, to understand the influence that we have outside our own existence. "

Siobhan Davies
" No, no - this has got nothing to do with the idea of training. It's to do with using dancers who I would consider professional. "

Siobhan Davies
" On the other hand in London you can get an audience that desires dance to go as far as it can go: they've seen the bricks of ideas built over a period so therefore there is an acceptance of what otherwise might seem out on a limb. "

Siobhan Davies
" One of our problems is our sense of discipline - dancers have an extraordinary sense of self-discipline. "

Siobhan Davies
" So the piece is as it was in 1997, but some of the movement has been refocused, remade, to make quite sure that the process these dancers went through actually had an impact on Bank2001. "

Siobhan Davies
" The dance world is too small in lots of ways - it's too intense, it rattles around itself, and it needs exposing to other ideas. "

Siobhan Davies
" The first 2 weeks, they didn't learn the piece - they went through the process of how the piece was made. "

Siobhan Davies
" Then I came in twice a week - for my own enjoyment as well as to be a guide. And then we started to apply some of the splinters of the ideas back into the piece. "

Siobhan Davies
" There's a hunger for learning, and I think that dancers are wonderful in their ability to turn round and say 'every day is a learning day'. "

Siobhan Davies
" There's a mass of places, really, where the idea started. "

Siobhan Davies
" There's that dilemma - you want an audience to really enjoy what you're doing, and sometimes that requires them to know a lot about your subject. "
