Our friends at DancePulp have a fantastic video series that features the best contemporary dancers and choreographers talking about their careers. From time to time, we’ll be sharing excerpts from our favorite videos.

To kick things off, we’ve got an excerpt from DancePulp’s recent interview with Matthew Bourne (pictured above) whose visionary production of Swan Lake wowed audiences when it returned to New York last year. (He also choreographed and co-directed the Broadway musical Mary Poppins.)

Bourne is extremely candid about his own background, and it’s fascinating to learn that he got such a late start as a dancer. Take a look and tell us what you think. (To see the rest of the interview, just go here.)
