“It’s an 80-minute show with no intermission, it’s a journey,” Alexandra Damiani, the new director of the show, told WWD.Dance Me — Music by Leonard Cohen at Sadler’s Wells.“I put a little bit of my DNA of looking at the identity approach to making sure that there is an elegance in it with a deep attention to detail inside the dance,” Damiani added.
Dancers and choreographers Andonis Foniadakis, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa and Ihsan Rustem have all helped in staging the production for a contemporary audience., so it’s very dynamic and physical. He finds his musicality is not necessarily going with the music, but rather finds those little cracks right in between the beats for contrasting moments with the music,” said Damiani.
Damiani started her career as a ballet dancer; she was the ballet mistress and then artistic director with New York’s Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet from 2005 to 2015.
