Nanine Linning took over the artistic director position of Scapino Ballet Rotterdam from Ed Wubbe.
Linning said on her Instagram post, “Today is a special day, writing a new chapter in my life! Although I started working with Scapino Ballet Rotterdam 1,5 year ago to create the artistic vision for the coming 4 years, I feel honoured to finally take over the company as Artistic Director and create and inspire with our amazing team of dancers, artists and staff our loyal audiences worldwide. And what better way to mark this day with this beautiful article about my next step in tanz magazine.”
Highly acclaimed choreographer Ed Wubbe has stepped down as Artistic Director after more than thirty years.
Scapino Ballet Rotterdam is celebrating its 75 year anniversary this year. Have a look at the history pages of the company website. I find them fascinating.
Separately, the English National Ballet is also celebrating its 75th season.
