He also has strong background in experimental theater and opera (&#8221;I was raised at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teatroallascala.org\/en\/splash.html\">La Scala<\/a>,&#8221; he says) so his outlook is broad.<\/p>\n<p>The format is the same as last Sunday, when I had a good talk with <strong>Maurice Causey<\/strong>, a freelance choreographer associated closely with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ndt.nl\/\">Nederlands Dans Theater<\/a>.
