Choreographer Fernando Hernando Magadan was once a national champion gymnast in his native Spain. So, it’s no surprise that his original works demand a great deal of athleticism from his dancers. “I love physicality,” Hernando Magadan tells Pancouver over Zoom. “I love fast movements and I love putting the body on its physical edge.” He also places a premium on performers who can tap into their emotions as they dance. “It’s not only about the physical act,” he emphasizes.
