Compañía Nacional de Danza

However, my work system does not emerge from structures that are excessively prearranged. I am interested in a research process in which the individual talent of every performer is boosted as much as possible. This choreographic process starts exactly at the moment when my last work finished. My own development and that of my line of creation are important, and that is why I generally start from what I consider to be the best discovery of my previous choreography.

Cult Race is an abstract ballet that does not pretend to tell a story. I try not to start from educationally-acquired models but, rather, to search for my own way without being limited by references to other artists. I need to experiment with dancers, to search…; discoveries can be very surprising. My philosophy, in this research, is very open. I compare many times the complexity I try to transmit with that which I can observe in nature. This is not chaos, but an interwoven network with a meaning that can be explained without using mathematical systems.

I try to get fourteen dancers to fully grow in their individuality but, at the same time, to form part of a single body. I believe that dancing sometimes draws on already created formulae that form part of a previous heritage. If spectators get used to always reading the same statement, something complex becomes chaotic and they reject it. We are not ready to accept the proposals of a new language. This change has taken place in other disciplines, such as audio-visual and plastic arts, which have acquired other registers that the public has been able to assimilate. In dancing, references to structures and past models must be overcome by looking for new and original solutions. We may not be able to achieve it but, at least, we would have been freely and honestly working in search of them”.
