Tamara Rojo runs as far away from Carlos Acosta as possible

“If you give me space – three metres, 30 metres – I like to cover it, especially with someone like Juliet. With someone young there has to be energy to waste! Young people don’t care about saving energy – and that’s something that’s very important to show. And it was amazing because I really could run, I could run down every diagonal on that stage. But for Carlos obviously it was a bit of a pain. He had to run after me and carry me all the way back. I couldn’t help it, but he was like, yes, it’s all very well for you…” Tamara Rojo talks to Ismene Brown, The Arts Desk
