Description

At Ballett Schwerin , a new generation of leadership is stepping in—not to tear it all down, but to ask better questions, challenge assumptions, and shape a more conscious, creative ballet culture.


Jonathan Dos Santos , the company’s Artistic Director and Ana Isabel Casquilho , Ballet Mistress, are redefining what leadership in dance can look like—collaborative, intentional, and deeply human.


We talked about:

What it means to lead as young voices in an evolving art form, How to build a season that reflects both vision and responsibility, Creating a culture of respect, not fear, Rethinking hierarchy, feedback, and the dancer’s experience and why “the way it’s always been” just isn’t good enough anymore..

If you’re interested in how ballet is changing—and who’s leading that change—this conversation is for you.
