\u201cDifferent organizations call for different tasks at different times. In my role as Artistic Director at Cullberg Ballet I have endeavoured to develop and manage the company at the same time \u2013 that has been my task. Cullberg Ballet has had a long and strong history without me and will have a long and strong future without me. I have tried to open doors to the future. In order to get the recruitment process going now, I am choosing to make this announcement at this time, eight months before I go,\u201d Anna Grip says.<\/p>\n
Anna Grip came to Cullberg Ballet in 2006 as Ensemble Manager. In the summer of 2008 she took over as Acting Artistic Director when Johan Inger left, and since January 2010 she has been the company\u2019s Artistic Director.<\/p>\n
During her time at Cullberg Ballet, Anna Grip has invited several choreographers to create works for both the big and small stage. She has also broadened the work of the company to include site-specific works and works for settings other than the traditional stage. Under Grip\u2019s management, the company has taken steps to invest in future generations of dancers, choreographers and audiences, and today it offers places on a training programme to students including those in their final year.<\/p>\n
