Reflection on Duato's Work "Without Words"


Nacho Duato is a famous choreographer born in Valencia, Spain. Duato began his dance study at the Rambert School of London. He also studied dance at the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater in New York City. He was a company member of the Nederlands Dans Theater for ten years. Duato’s choreographic works have been included in some of the best dance companies in the country such as American Ballet Theater and San Francisco Ballet.

Nacho Duato’s work “Without Words” was so inspiring. Each company dancer was so talented and really brought life to the stage. Nacho Duato’s movement was so organic and moving; the music truly added more of an effect to the piece as a whole. The dancers had such beautiful lines and engaged every single muscle. The partnering work was so incredible. The dancers were each other’s strengths and worked as a pair beautifully. Since Duato’s work is more of a contemporary base the movement adds a vivid scene to the audience.

. While watching Nacho Duato’s work “Without Words” I noticed that he emphasizes the idea of creating shapes within the movement. The act of creating shapes within a piece adds a story behind the work and makes it personal for the choreographer and the audience.
