The idea of holding choreography workshops has been brought to the Teatr Wielki by Krzysztof Pastor, the new director of the Polish National Ballet. The guiding principle is to give dancers the opportunity for a choreographic debut as well as releasing the creative and organizational initiative of ballet artists. They have been given free rein regarding the concept, preparation, organization, and promotion of this ballet evening using their own resources, with the possibility of taking advantage of the theatre’s organizational and technical assistance. Similar workshops are held at Het Nationale Ballet in Amsterdam, where Krzysztof Pastor is a resident choreographer, and have revealed many new choreographic talents. This opportunity for young Polish choreographers is compatible with the Teatr Wielki’s new image which is being developed by two great figures of theatre: director Mariusz Treliński and choreographer Krzysztof Pastor. Both of them do not just propose their own productions for our theatre’s repertoire, but also do their best to stimulate young Polish opera and ballet creativity.
