David Nixon OBE "In Conversation"

In an illuminating conversation, which included many mutual reminiscences, David spoke about starting out in dance, performing in his home country (Canada), in Berlin and on 'gala' tours, his early days as a  Director in Columbus,Ohio, and his 20 years at the head of Northern Ballet.

Discussion of David's approach to choreography, to choosing dancers who would be a good 'fit' for the Company, and to operating within the constraints imposed by touring and budget limitations was especially illuminating, as was his summation of the role of a Director, "It's not about you at all - you're there for other people".
