EPISODE 2
In this episode we meet one of Europe’s best ballet dancers and artistic thinkers. Tamara Rojo is currently the Artistic Director and Lead Principal Dancer at the English National Ballet. Through her illustrious career so far, she has been Principal Dancer at the Scottish Ballet, has danced with the Kirov, Tokyo and Berlin companies, and also at the Scala in Milan. In conversation with Joe Lynam, Tamara challenges the perceived elitism of ballet, recounts the moment her appendix burst during a performance, and talks passionately about the importance of keeping the arts free from nationalism and propaganda.
