Dance is an International Language Inspiring
Hearts, Minds and Souls Without One Word
❝ In his choreography, MICHAEL SHANNON emanates from the animal impulse launched by the music. There are no beautiful or ugly movements for him: everything coming from the inside is right. He is very musical and knows how to support the plot with wholesome musical dramaturgy. The visual characters I created were inspired by great artists and their works as prototypes torn apart in his language of movement. Hence a new concept and the atmosphere necessary for our production was born. If the people and creatures on Dali’s paintings could speak in the language of dance, they would be very Shannon-like.
