Kristine Slettevold has agreed to continue as Artistic Director of the dance company Cullberg, which means that her appointment is extended for four years, from 2026 to 2030.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI am pleased that Kristine accepted an extended appointment. During her first three years she has focused on the ensemble and the dancers\u2019 expression, and through her programming has made Cullberg more accessible to diverse audiences. Kristine is a strong leader with a vision of the power of dance and the importance of art,\u201d says Mia Larsson, Head of Dance at Riksteatern.<\/p>\n

Since Kristine Slettevold took over as Artistic Director in 2022, Cullberg has produced several public successes and toured in Europe and the USA.

\u201cIt feels fantastic to have the trust to continue developing the company\u2019s artistic vision over the next five years. I am proud of what we have achieved so far and incredibly excited for what lies ahead. We will continue to deepen our artistic work through dance, with a strong focus on radical and engaging choreographic works \u2013 while also continuing to push the boundaries of what a company like this can be,\u201d says Kristine Slettevold.<\/p>\n
