Joanie Spina

Director / Artistic Consultant

For eleven years Joanie Spina was an integral Co-Director, Choreographer, and Artistic Consultant for one of the most successful entertainers of our time, David Copperfield.

Spina worked together with Copperfield developing and performing new material for ten annual CBS television specials (1985-1995) as well as ten years of the touring stage production of “The Magic of David Copperfield”. And In 1997, Spina’s creative work could be seen in Copperfield’s Broadway production of “Dreams and Nightmares” (breaking box office records and becoming the highest-grossing show in Broadway history.)

Critics worldwide note that the results of her collaboration with the world’s most respected conjurer raised the stature of magic to new heights in the eyes of the public and ensured the viability of the art form into the 21st century.

Originally trained in legitimate theater, Spina’s style is undoubtedly New York-based. She has joined the creative team as Director and Artistic Consultant, bringing with her a diverse background in theater, dance, and magic.
