Rafael Bonachela
“Bonachela’s 360° was the performance highlight of the year, pushing the skilled and talented dancers every which way to truly incendiary effect.” JACQUELINE PASCOE, DANCE AUSTRALIA

“Bonachela delivers a work that is breathtakingly, almost painfully beautiful.” ALEX LALEK, DAILY TELEGRAPH, SYDNEY

"360° by Rafael Bonachela for SDC: a superbly slick, visually and viscerally engaging work in every way.” MELBOURNE HERALD-SUN

Born in Barcelona, Award winning choreographer, Rafael Bonachela as been described by the Sunday Times Magazine as “the next big thing” and by ID magazine as among “the hottest of international talent.” Rafael Bonachela describes himself as a movement junkie and the exploration and experimentation of pure movement is his motivation.

He has an impeccable pedigree, having been a stand-out dancer at Rambert Dance Company, where he went on to choreograph as many as 7 new works. Rafael Bonachela emerged as a choreographer committed to innovation. He is now director of his own Bonachela Dance Company.

Rafael moves seamlessly between the mainstream and the avant garde. Recent commissions include works for George Piper Dances, Dies de Dansa Festival Barcelona, Candoco, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba, David Hughes Dance Company for the Edinburgh Festival, Dance Works Rotterdam, English Chamber Orchestra and Kylie Minogue’s award-winning Fever Tour and the 2005 Showgirl Tour.
