Barbora Látalová

Barbora Látalová graduated from the Duncan Centre Conservatory in 1997. She is a dancer, choreographer and teacher who is always posing new questions and who never ceases to seek answers. To enrich her education, Barbora does not hesitate to travel around the globe in search of new opportunities. She has been performing in several projects at the same time, spanning from those of international theatre company Nie of Alex Byrne, through various works by Czech choreographers, to more recent performances for children. Together with Veronika Svabova, she has choreographed performances Od začátku do konce / From the Beginning to the End, or Údolí / The Valley. Her solo piece Margharetha vypravuje / Margharetha Tells a Story was nominated for the Czech Dance Platform Award for interpretation in 2012. As a lecturer, she has taught dance at the Norwegian school for professional actors for 3 years, and at present, she runs lessons of dance education at an elementary school in Prague as part of the Dance to Schools project. Her strong commitment and interest in work with children, as well as her highly professional approach brought its fruit and the mentor Anka Sedláčková invited Barbora to the residency programme in Bratislava.
