How do you work?
Usually I have a picture in my head or a thought that I want to define and craft into a musical piece. It’s a sort of meditation moment. It all starts with a simple improvised melody and then slowly everything else is building up around it. I tempt to work with tapes instead of digitally cause this way I pay more attention on being precise, giving the right touch, mood, to the playing. And the quality of the sound is so much better of course.

From 12 – 21 April 2018, English National Ballet will present the world premiere of a new work by one of the most revered choreographers working today, William Forsythe, his first creation for a UK ballet company in over 20 years.
“For a while now I have wanted to dedicate a programme to the abstract, neoclassical style of ballet that is born out of America” – says Tamara Rojo. “It gives me great pleasure to now be doing so with a new work created especially for us by the genius that is William Forsythe.”
