CON AMOR — World Premiere ✨

What an unforgettable opening night.

A huge thank you to the incredible dancers of @bnsballet for your artistry and for embracing both the emotional world and physical challenges of this work. Con Amor was the largest cast I’ve choreographed to date, with 26 dancers on stage, and you brought it to life with generosity and heart.

Thank you, @merrynyc for commissioning this new ballet and for connecting me with the wonderfully creative costume designer @daniela_inthamoussu , whose vision elevated the production, and to @pablolightcrew for creating such a beautiful lighting design.

My sincere thanks to the National Chamber Orchestra @cnmc_sodre for your beautiful music and collaboration , and @martinezequielsegovia , whose calm professionalism and coordination behind the scenes kept everything running seamlessly from beginning to end.

Rehearsal director @isabela_28 was by my side from the beginning and was a tremendous support and guide with the dancers and all departments throughout the creative process.

And finally, thank you to everyone who came to support the premiere. Seeing the audience not only embrace the performance but also join us afterwards for music by @dj.malandratzo , dancing, and connecting in the foyer was incredibly special. Watching dancers, audiences, musicians, technicians, front-of-house staff, and theatre departments celebrating together was a beautiful moment of community engagement.

Thank you, Ballet Nacional SODRE, for trusting me with this journey.
