“I first saw Italy’s Spellbound Dance Company three years ago at an industry conference showcase with a small group of American presenters. We were immediately taken by the company’s unique vocabulary of expression – combining athleticism with grace; they are poetic, yet dynamic.

“I never had the same source of inspiration. I just start from life — a vacation, a hospital, children playing, all different aspects of life, hundreds of billions of information every day.” Speaking by phone from Italy, Spellbound Dance Company founder Mauro Astolfi has a slightly limited command of English-language subtleties, but the choreographer’s expansive creative vision is unmistakable. From his celebrated “Carmina Burana,” which has been performed more than 100 times around the world, to his “Don Giovanni,” made for the 2008 Venice Biennale, to his latest work, an ironic look at seduction, Astolfi is a choreographic explorer with a wide-ranging curiosity and a need to communicate.
