Dramaturge

Once per season, the First Steps format gives the dancers of the Coburg State Theatre's ballet ensemble the opportunity to premiere their own choreographies. This doesn't just focus on movement: they can also be creative in the areas of stage and costume design, as well as lighting design, and further develop their artistic style. First Steps is a platform for young choreographers who experiment with different dance styles and movement languages ​​and explore new concepts. The musical spectrum is also broad – from classical to pop to hip-hop.
