He was the odd man out in Melbourne. Not completely lonely as he had family there, he nonetheless wasn't part of the crowd in school.
"They have a particular way of being, and I think my idea was broader." He said of the experience.
His greatest loneliness came with his greatest opportunity thus far: an offer from the prestigious Sydney Dance Company. With no money to visit home for the holidays, alone in a strange city, Paul formed a
family of prostitutes and junkies at a cafe in Darlinghurst--later to serve as the inspiration for his dance Cafe.
Time and hard work later, Paul became something of a star with the SDC, getting plum parts from the troupe's brilliant director, Graeme Murphy, as well as doing more of his own choreography. He met his wife, Andrea, during these years, and they were married in 1987.
