Company dancer, Ilaria Guerra, dances the title role of Judith.
"Dancing the role of Judith is nothing like I have ever done before. My background is in classical and contemporary ballet where the story is told through pantomime or there is no story at all. With Judith, I am being asked to fully immerse myself emotionally into the life of my character and express her experiences in a human way. Not only is the dancing technically challenging and demanding, but the emotional connection can't drop for even a moment during the show. What I have found, however, is that the more I dive into Judith as a person, the easier the dancing becomes: Judith has a purpose higher than herself and through her I am able to elevate my dancing as well. Everything becomes natural and not forced; my turns happen effortlessly, my legs move freely. The technical demands melt away when the emotions connect. It is a truly liberating experience. I am extremely honored to be able to play this role and be a part of this amazing company." Ilaria Guerra, ADP company dancer
