    KUNST n’ Maria Kochetkova : Beyond Ballet’s Traditional System

    What happens when a world-renowned ballerina steps beyond the system that made her? In this powerful conversation, Maria Kochetkova reflects on dancing across continents, rising through ballet’s strict hierarchy, challenging tradition, and ultimately redefining herself as an independent artist. From principal stages to creative freedom, we explore identity, power, perfection, and the courage it takes to question the very world you once dreamed of conquering. A conversation about ballet—but also about transformation, voice, and daring to create on your own terms.

    KUNST n’ Kenedy Kallas: Spirituality in Motion - Staging “I’m afraid to forget your smile”

    In this episode, Kenedy Kallas reflects on a life shaped by dance—from early beginnings to an evolving artistic voice, and the collaborations that have defined her path. At the heart of the conversation is “I Am Afraid to Forget Your Smile” by Imre & Marne van Opstal—a work exploring memory, death, and human connection. The piece will be part of the upcoming double bill “Transformations”, premiering April 18 at Staatsoper Hannover. Having both performed and staged the work, she shares how choreography transforms as it moves between bodies—and what it means to carry something so fleeting while allowing it to become new. A conversation about memory, transformation, and the fragile beauty of what we try to hold onto. This Episode is in collaboration with Staatsballett Hannover. Kenedy's Books Recommendation: > Womb Awakening: Seren & Azra Bertrand > Kali Kaula: a manual of Tantric Magick - Jan Fries > Magdalene Mysteries- Seren & Azra Bertrand > Tantra - Osho > The Mary Magdalene Oracle Deck- Megan Watterson > Kali Oracle Deck- Alana Fairchild

    KUNST n' Pompea Santoro: Learning to Move, Learning to Choose

    In this episode, we sit down with legendary Italian dancer and teacher Pompea Santoro for a deeply personal conversation about artistry, identity, and transmission. From her early training between southern Italy and Turin to her extraordinary 25-year collaboration with Mats Ek at the Cullberg Ballet, Pompea reflects on the choices, risks, and inner transformations that shaped her path. She shares what it meant to embody iconic roles such as Giselle and Carmen, including the role of M. created specifically on her by Ek — a performance that later received an Emmy Award. We explore presence, vulnerability, and what it truly means to “serve the work” without losing yourself inside it. The conversation also traces her transition from performer to mentor, her ongoing work restaging Ek’s repertoire worldwide, and the vision behind the EkoDance International Project, created to nurture the next generation of artists. Honest, profound, and full of lived wisdom, this episode is an intimate reflection on artistic growth, legacy, and what it means to remain human — both on and off the stage.
