Declan Donnellan interview (1774 words)
Donnellan finds it remarkable that although he had worked in the theatre for 25 years, he had met five ballet dancers in that time.
Last year, when Donnellan was rehearsing in Moscow, I asked several British choreographers if they would have been prepared to cede their leadership of the creative team for a new ballet to a theatre director.
Donnellan would not be drawn on questions about ‘the state of ballet’ or whether the art was ‘stuck’.
Custom Gets Cold Shoulder (841 words)
Donnellan has traveled the world with his famous Cheek by Jowl company and he is no stranger to working abroad with foreign companies.
What "undoes" Godunov, Donnellan said, is either the knowledge or at least the suspicion that he is the one who had the legitimate heir to the throne, Dmitry, murdered in infancy.
Donnellan won’t go so far as to discuss what Feklistov’s Godunov might be like, but he admitted he is a flexible director who gives his actors room to move.
