โ€œSospiriโ€ danced for Battery Dance Festival, 2025. 
Dancers: Jai Perez (@jai.perez) and Isabella Pagano (@ispagano)
Choreography by Jacqulyn Buglisi (@buglisidance)
Originally danced by @teresecapucilli and Donlin Foreman
Music: Edward Elgar
Costumes by A. Christina Giannini

โ€œIn 1848, Camila Oโ€™Gorman (the Juliet of the pampas) and her lover, the Jesuit priest, Ladislav Gutierrez, were hunted down and executed by a firing squad for their illicit love โ€” Inspired by this true tale, Sospiri is a haunting meditation on passion, defiance, and memory.โ€

After several years of watching and learning from peers and mentors performances of โ€˜Sospiriโ€™ (@teresecapucilli, @virginiemecene, @anearrieta, @zachjeppsentoy), and also Jai and I learning that intro sequence perhaps, 3 or 4 times over the course of 3 years (persistant!), we were finally able to enter this narative fully this past August. Having grown so much as both individuals and as partners over the past years (weโ€™ve known eachother since 5th grade!), it felt as though the several failed attempts to learn this piece prior were all for the sake of arriving to โ€˜Sospiriโ€™ at this moment in time. A very special landscape of many hearts - Thank you to Jacqulyn for trusting us with this oneโ€ฆ by @ispagano

Graham 2 Star, Isabella Pagano @ispagano articulates the ๐‘‡โ„Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘’ ๐‘Š๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘โ„Ž๐‘’๐‘  exercise with such dynamic power and expression our Level IV class @marthagrahamschool today with Elizabeth Auclair!

Isabella Pagano is a shining example of what it means to grow within the Martha Graham legacy. She began in our @teensatgraham program, trained rigorously through the Martha Graham School, rose through the ranks of Graham 2 @graham2official , and has been working with the main Company. She is bringing with her a deep, internalized understanding of the craft into the next phase of her journey, and weโ€™re so proud of her!
