How dance is born and lives in the real world

In three years, the “New Dance” programme has produced more than 150 projects — among them the show “A Place That Didn't Exist Yet”, a Golden Mask laureate, and the Saint Petersburg premiere of Ohad Naharin's “Choir”.

Behind the artistic instinct is a rare technical background: as technical director of the imarussia agency he builds hybrid conferences and ceremonies for major corporations — SGK, “Vkusno — i tochka”, IBS — and as producer of the ODYSSEY festival he runs four stages for 10,000 spectators.

A “symbiosis of director and event engineer” — on the bridges between the poetry of movement and hard logistics, between an intimate performance and a large-scale open-air.
