Meet our new dancers

The British dancer received his training at the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance. He danced with Nederlands Danstheater 2, Ultima Vez and in recent years worked as a freelance dancer in the UK and Europe. He was also active in film and the commercial sector, but now he joins our company as a half-soloist. David tells us that he is very much looking forward to getting to know his new colleagues: "It is always inspiring to work with new people and share experiences. I hope to discover as much as possible here and try new things."

This young Texan studied at the Houston Ballet School and joins Opera Ballet Flanders' corps de ballet after dancing for three years at Nederlands Dans Theater 2. Austin finds it all quite exciting, as he has not yet had the opportunity to work with the major choreographers programmed this season - with the exception of Johan Inger. "I like getting to know other dance languages, it's interesting to be part of a new creative process," he says. And what does the American think of Antwerp? "An eclectic mess where everything and everyone seems to be unique, but above all, a city that feels very welcoming."

Christina studied at the New Zealand School of Dance. She has already appeared in works by Damien Jalet and others with the New Zealand Dance Company. With this company, she traveled to Belgium in 2018, her first introduction to Europe. Meanwhile, she has fallen in love with the coffee and bicycle culture in Antwerp, and with the work of Jan Martens: “FUTUR PROCHE is so well made, it's exciting to dance it to the accompaniment of live harpsichord music," Christina believes. She is also looking forward to the chamber concerts, in which some dancers will collaborate with musicians from our orchestra: "I am curious to get to know them." Christina, like Louis and Austin, joins our company's corps de ballet.
