His pleasure at his handiwork is palpable during rehearsals for his latest hit, Play Without Words, an adaptation of the sinister, hedonistic Joseph Losey film The Servant. As dancers create an atmosphere of sex and power through twisting, pulsing movements, Bourne's eyes are shining, his foot tapping to the jazz score.
