WINGS BEHIND THE BACK
with Alexei Ratmansky
Alexei Ratmansky is one of the most important creators of classical dance of our time and has worked in almost all major international companies: as artistic director, artist in residence or guest choreographer. The roots and basis of classical dance from the 19th century repertoire are important to Ratmansky, as are the aesthetic twists and turns that ballet can take today, enriched with contemporary impulses in his own creations. For Alexei Ratmansky, the central characteristics of a dancer are naturalness, spontaneity and individuality, which he believes should be supported, developed and inspired.
