This may not be so interesting, but it gives me a giggle. I was looking for the year I performed in a dance show called By Physical Means, choreographed by Felicity MacDonald. It was on at Dancehouse in Melbourne and was my first official gig as a dancer. In my google search I found a link to an old biography of mine that had been translated into French for some performances I was doing with Rosalind Crisp in France last decade(!). Of course, google kindly offered to translate it for me, which is what you see above. Some odd grammar and phrasing, but mostly it reads ok (particularly given it was written in english translated to french then machine translated back to english). But check out the sentence that starts “In 1995 David began a thorough study…” …so now you all know.
