'With a prodigious body of work to his credit, and with a public profile that extends beyond the boundaries of a narrow dance community, Graeme Murphy is arguably Australia's best-known choreographer. Michelle Potter's articles about Murphy's career as a dancer, choreographer and director, have previously been published in newspapers, theatre programs, popular magazines, journals and books. The reviews and stories are assembled here according to themes that can be seen in Murphy's work across several decades, giving readers glimpses into an extraordinary dance career that began in Tasmania, the state of his upbringing.'
