ANATOMY OF A DANCE

SARA MEARNS ON BALANCHINE’S LA SONNAMBULA

In reflecting on 16 years of embodying the mercurial Coquette in Balanchine's romantically macabre La Sonnambula, Sara Mearns admits to over-acting during her earliest performances. She explains how time and experience have led her to a more nuanced portrayal that, rather than projecting to audiences, draws them in with an air of mystery.
