Internationally acclaimed dancer, choreographer and inspirational teacher Nigel Charnock was very much his own man. He hated the word dance, was frequently scathing in his criticism of most contemporary choreographers and wanted 'ordinary' people rather than dance critics and dance audiences to see his work. When interviewed he said: "I'm more of an entertainer. I make shows. I don't make work."
