LAILA DIALLO -
After dancing for 8 years with Wayne McGregor's Random Dance, Laïla in recent years came to prominence as a choreographer. Her work includes the solos waiting fleeing and The Wayside and the duet Between the Shingle and the Dune, with Theo Clinkard. Credits for theatre and opera include Dido and Aeneas (La Scala, Milan and Royal Opera House) and Acis and Galatea (Royal Opera House) as Assistant Director and Choreographer; Movement Direction for All's Well That Ends Well, Therese Raquin (National Theatre, London) and Days of Significance (Royal Shakespeare Company, Stratford upon Avon); Choreography for Prokofiev's War and Peace (Canadian Opera Company, Toronto), Coward's The Vortex (Theatre Royal windsor) and Ibsen's A Doll's House (Theatre Royal Bath). Laïla was awarded a Rayne Fellowship for Choreographers in May 2006. She will be a Associate Artist at the Royal Opera House from September this year.
Following acclaimed performances in Paris and Quebec City earlier this year, Sense of Self, duet co-created and performed with Montreal based choreographer Mélanie Demers, is due to return to the UK this Autumn. Watch this space in the next few weeks our full tour schedule!
A fine creation (...) which has the depth of dreams and the lucid intelligence of consciousness -Marie-Chantal Scholl, Dfdanse
A profound and poetic reflection on identity (...) One leaves feeling intelligent , alive. - Alexandra Liva, Le Soleil

Hi Laila, I'm disappointed that I missed your performances (and the rest of the festival)last weekend (grrrr) - I was ill! I hope you had a good time H:)
Hi Laila: how was the land of the mangos? Were you dancing out there? What are you going to be performing in Italy? Hope it goes well for you - beautiful place. H x
Je voulais aussi passer à Lyon le 1er juillet pour les Nuits de Fourvière. Mais on danse à Montpellier Danse à la même date... C' est vraiment dommage! Mais attends, ce ne serait pas Léo, ton ami? En tout cas, il m' a parlé de toi, il ya qq semaines...On s' est croisé en Italie. Peut être qu' on arrivera nous aussi à se croiser un de ces jours. Des bisous, des bisous..
Ma belle Laila, j' espère que tout va bien. A quand un passage en France?... En tout cas, je serai de passage à Londres en septembre. On danse au Sadler's wells le 19 et 20. J' espère qu' on finira par se croiser! je t' embrasse fort. Prends soin de toi.
Thanks! I love the dance excerpt on your page - beautiful. I'm hoping to upload something myself very soon - depends on whether I'm happy enough with it (work in progress). Very good to meet you :) x
