Auditions have passed-check back Incoming artistic director Richard Siegal and the team of Staatstheater Nurnberg Ballet of Difference seek classically-trained (including pointe work) dancers of all genders for full-time contracts. In addition to extraordinary technique, a strong individual artistic voice, improvisational ability, and a collaborative spirit are desired. The company’s mission is to critically interrogate ballet’s relevance in the 21st century, through inquiries into classical technique, reimaginations of canonical works, and questioning its broader socio-political status. The repertoire will consist of new and existing works by Richard Siegal, including Unitxt, Oval, and Petruschka, as well as by both established and emerging contemporary ballet choreographers from Europe and abroad.
