We met Uzma Hameed, a dramaturg and kathak dancer, and long-time collaborator of Wayne McGregor in London. Based on her experience, we put together a profile of this vital member of any creative team.
Ballet lovers will find two special interviews in this issue with two Principals: one is Luisa Ieluzzi, who a few months ago reached the highetst status at the San Carlo Theatre Ballet in Naples; the other, Marcelino Sambé, the Portuguese dancer who rose up the ranks at the Royal Ballet, but who remains as committed as ever to introducing the youngest and less fortunate members of society to dance and ballet. We also have an interview with Gisèle Vienne, the corss-disciplinary artist, present-day philosopher, and creator of transversal, disenchanted works.
