Stina Quagebeur ⎪ Associate Choreographer, English National Ballet
Manage episode 297943001 series 2846099
Stina Quagebeur is the associate choreographer and a first artist at English National Ballet. Nora, her first mainstage choreographic work for ENB, was based on Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House and premiered at Sadler's Wells in 2019. Since then she has been choreographing steadily for the company; most recently the duet Hollow and the raucous Take Five Blues, both of which finally had their post-lockdown premiere to a live audience.
In this episode, host Emma Lister and she discuss making narrative vs abstract work, her obsessive research and how she can rely on her 'gut feeling' when making decisions in the studio.
