Amanda Donato\u2019s visual language feels Berlin. The minimalist monochrome of black, grey and midnight blue in her stage worlds is broken only by beams of light, a red rope detail \u2013 and the rawness of a moving body. Though this rawness, which is so instrumental, and the allegory to Berlin resist simple clich\u00e9s that one might think of. Rather than coldness or darkness, her work insists that life continues to pulse regardless of circumstance. Inscribed into her choreography, it draws us to the granular: muscles articulating, repetition and rhythm conversing, exhaustion pushing the body forward. In our conversation, Donato reflects on her trajectory from Toronto to Berlin and on two seminal works, CUSP and A WAKE, considering a human condition suspended between states that feels highly topical. From personal lineage to a collective sensing of the present, she translates humanness into motion and tells us what performance can offer beyond the stage \u2013 leading us to our own bodily awareness to make space for community.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":126229,"id":126229,"title":"2026-02-26 Sleek x Amanda Donato 8","filename":"2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-8.jpg","filesize":541002,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-8.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/teetering-on-the-precipice-and-the-desire-to-persevere\/2026-02-26-sleek-x-amanda-donato-8\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"2026-02-26-sleek-x-amanda-donato-8","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":126222,"date":"2026-04-28 17:14:12","modified":"2026-04-28 17:14:12","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1440,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-8.jpg","thumbnail-width":72,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-8.jpg","medium-width":1440,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-8.jpg","medium_large-width":1440,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-8.jpg","large-width":1440,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-8-1152x1536.jpg","1536x1536-width":1152,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-8.jpg","2048x2048-width":1440,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-8.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":9,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-8.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1440,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"4","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

NISHA MERIT:<\/strong> Your work explores cognitive patterns, migration histories, the relationship with the environment, and the contradictions of human experience \u2013 could you please put this in the context of yourself and your work?<\/p>\n

AMANDA DONATO:<\/strong> I\u2019m the daughter of two immigrants from Argentina, with grandparents from Italy, and I\u2019m an immigrant in Germany from Canada. Honouring this uprooting and bravery in my lineage is important to me. Migration can be so disturbing for the inner world and totally disrupt identity \u2026 or form it. My move was symbolic: a conscious dedication to my body of work. I\u2019ve always been interested in the anatomy of thought, human behaviour and relationships \u2013 especially in performance where the body is pure expression in dialogue with its environment. I think it all intertwines in my work. It is this big web that forms my engine for creation and spans from my identity into proposing questions through choreography. In that, I am creating circumstances for performance without the pressure to answer or educate anyone on anything.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":126230,"id":126230,"title":"2026-02-26 Sleek x Amanda Donato 25","filename":"2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-25.jpeg","filesize":371313,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-25.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/teetering-on-the-precipice-and-the-desire-to-persevere\/2026-02-26-sleek-x-amanda-donato-25\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"2026-02-26-sleek-x-amanda-donato-25","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":126222,"date":"2026-04-28 17:15:27","modified":"2026-04-28 17:15:27","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1440,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-25.jpeg","thumbnail-width":72,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-25.jpeg","medium-width":1440,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-25.jpeg","medium_large-width":1440,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-25.jpeg","large-width":1440,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-25-1152x1536.jpeg","1536x1536-width":1152,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-25.jpeg","2048x2048-width":1440,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-25.jpeg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":9,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-25.jpeg","wpvr_mobile-width":1440,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}},{"ID":126231,"id":126231,"title":"2026-02-26 Sleek x Amanda Donato 30","filename":"2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-30.jpeg","filesize":443986,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-30.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/teetering-on-the-precipice-and-the-desire-to-persevere\/2026-02-26-sleek-x-amanda-donato-30\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"2026-02-26-sleek-x-amanda-donato-30","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":126222,"date":"2026-04-28 17:17:23","modified":"2026-04-28 17:17:23","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":1440,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-30.jpeg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-30.jpeg","medium-width":1920,"medium-height":1440,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-30.jpeg","medium_large-width":1920,"medium_large-height":1440,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-30.jpeg","large-width":1920,"large-height":1440,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-30-1536x1152.jpeg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1152,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-30.jpeg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1440,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-30.jpeg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":16,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-30.jpeg","wpvr_mobile-width":1920,"wpvr_mobile-height":1440}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"4","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

NM:<\/strong> CUSP, 2024, feels eerily urgent in our current time: a moment of teetering on the precipice, a suspense in which the world is heading towards something that we don\u2019t understand how it might turn out. What is the essence of this piece?<\/p>\n

AD:<\/strong> CUSP had a lot to do with this period in my life where I was trying to climb towards or out of something. There\u2019s this palpable fear right now and, at the same time, there seems to be a desire to persevere. CUSP was quite personal because somehow I am always at the precipice of something or teetering \u2013 I never quite feel like I\u2019m existing in stability. A lot of the visuals were inspired by mountain climbing, including the costumes styled by Nastya Klychkova using Shibari tying with climbing rope and double-sided clothing symbolising transition. The work ended up living on its own and unveiling itself. CUSP was about a feeling \u2013 an inevitable human state the performers tapped into. How can we continue to elevate ourselves with uncertainty?<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery":[{"ID":126232,"id":126232,"title":"2026-02-26 Sleek x Amanda Donato

NM:<\/strong> A WAKE is dedicated to your grandmother \u2013 how do you translate memories, personal relationship, loss into movement?<\/p>\n

AD:<\/strong> A WAKE needed to be a continuation of her legacy. She was the matriarch of the family and she\u2019s still living with very advanced Alzheimer\u2019s. It\u2019s complicated to watch someone you love disappear. She was such a powerful, strong woman. Creating it was intense, I wrote a lot and did a lot of research. I went to Italy and visited her hometown of Teggiano to feel the soil. I learned how to make fresh pasta like she did, and translated working with dough into the final act of the solo on a wooden board that I carried like a casket. The choreography was used as an entry point, and as I kept develop- ing the piece, I had to shed the layers of the structure to embody it. How do I tell this story? How do I give myself the room to process this grief and escape into specific memories or situations? How do I get as close as possible to her with this work?<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":126236,"id":126236,"title":"2026-02-26 Sleek x Amanda Donato 35","filename":"2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-35.jpeg","filesize":450689,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-35.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/teetering-on-the-precipice-and-the-desire-to-persevere\/2026-02-26-sleek-x-amanda-donato-35\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"2026-02-26-sleek-x-amanda-donato-35","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":126222,"date":"2026-04-28 17:23:47","modified":"2026-04-28 17:23:47","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1440,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-35.jpeg","thumbnail-width":72,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-35.jpeg","medium-width":1440,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-35.jpeg","medium_large-width":1440,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-35.jpeg","large-width":1440,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-35-1152x1536.jpeg","1536x1536-width":1152,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-35.jpeg","2048x2048-width":1440,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-35.jpeg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":9,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-35.jpeg","wpvr_mobile-width":1440,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"4","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"blockquote","text":"I like classical research, perception, and cognitive behavioural theory in psychology.

NM:<\/strong> Your aesthetic is minimalist; it focuses on the source of the movement \u2013 the body, the muscles, the rhythm and repetition. What are your reference points?<\/p>\n

AD:<\/strong> It\u2019s interesting because I try not to consciously curate the aesthetic. Inevitably, it\u2019s going to be factored in, but the priority is that it feels authentic. The anchor and the point of reference is the body. I\u2019m such a dance purist. I love classical movement and foundation, and I love articulation and detail and muscular control and rhythm. I\u2019m so obsessed with dance as an art form. So inevitably, that\u2019s always the starting point. My movement style stems from personal experiences, interactions, different genres of dance, and observations fused together \u2013 as well as music, films, fashion and literature. I think this is why the body is so incredible, because it\u2019s its own universe and it has its own pockets of memory: the perfect holder of these residues. My aesthetic is intuitive, where I am usually deducting rather than adding. It might start maximalist and then it goes razor-sharp.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":126238,"id":126238,"title":"2026-02-26 Sleek x Amanda Donato 3","filename":"2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-3.jpg","filesize":359156,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-3.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/teetering-on-the-precipice-and-the-desire-to-persevere\/2026-02-26-sleek-x-amanda-donato-3\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"2026-02-26-sleek-x-amanda-donato-3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":126222,"date":"2026-04-28 17:37:28","modified":"2026-04-28 17:37:28","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":1439,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-3.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-3.jpg","medium-width":1920,"medium-height":1439,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-3.jpg","medium_large-width":1920,"medium_large-height":1439,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-3.jpg","large-width":1920,"large-height":1439,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-3-1536x1151.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1151,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-3.jpg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1439,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-3.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":16,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-3.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1920,"wpvr_mobile-height":1439}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"4","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

NM:<\/strong> You studied psychology and you work with the method of bodily awareness. How does it influence your performance work? Are there specific overlaps or intersections?<\/p>\n

AD:<\/strong> I like classical research, perception, and cognitive behavioural theory in psychology. With my performance work, I see it as a collection of data, processing with my analytical mind, and allowing things to drop back down into the intelligent body or intuition. It\u2019s also an imperfect science, acknowledging room for error and challenging its own theories. I would consider myself a very sensitive per- son, so I feel a lot of energy. I can tell when I\u2019m in a space where my body reacts \u2013 especially as a woman \u2013 by subconsciously shrinking. I\u2019m always aware of the composition and hierarchies of bodies in a space \u2013 who\u2019s shrinking, who\u2019s expanding, who feels like they have more permission to say something or to insert themselves? When I work with performers, I have a responsibility to be receptive to energies and take care of what I\u2019m proposing.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":126239,"id":126239,"title":"2026-02-26 Sleek x Amanda Donato 73","filename":"2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-73.jpg","filesize":509953,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-73.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/teetering-on-the-precipice-and-the-desire-to-persevere\/2026-02-26-sleek-x-amanda-donato-73\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"2026-02-26-sleek-x-amanda-donato-73","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":126222,"date":"2026-04-28 17:37:49","modified":"2026-04-28 17:37:49","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1536,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-73.jpg","thumbnail-width":77,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-73.jpg","medium-width":1536,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-73.jpg","medium_large-width":1536,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-73.jpg","large-width":1536,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-73-1229x1536.jpg","1536x1536-width":1229,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-73.jpg","2048x2048-width":1536,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-73.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":10,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-02-26-Sleek-x-Amanda-Donato-73.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1536,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"4","caption":"All Photography by Michel Comte."}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

There\u2019s a certain vulnerability and expression in the work that I\u2019m interested in \u2013 especially in a world that aims to numb. Right now, it feels vital to stay connected and to keep listening to each other as individuals and as collective entities.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

AMANDA DONATO<\/strong> and MICHEL COMTE<\/strong> are further collaborating on a continuously evolving performance CHAOS, which premieres in April 2026 and is based on Johann Sebastian Bach\u2019s Goldberg Variations. Inspired by a work by Brandon Oliver Comte, who lost his battle with a rare illness, each iteration is shaped through pure emotion and sound, performed by Donato. This also marks the first time Comte explores live performance within his oeuvre.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"
