From 1958 until today the section „Dance” belongs to the Landesbühnen Sachsen GmbH. The dance company is the most international section of the Landesbühnen which includes mostly young dancers from all around the world. The program is characterized by modern dance productions for a small ensemble in the same way as for the big stage. Since a couple of years the focus is on the self-employed work of the dancers who get the chance to manage their work themselves as choreographer and improviser. With the new artistic director for Dance, Wagner Moreira, the spectrum expands by projects which fulfill the expectations for inclusive work, since the season 2021/22.
Since the year 2015 the Landesbühnen Sachsen pursuates a cooperation with the Danceweek Dresden and since 2020 also with HELLERAU – European Centre of Arts (Dresden), which is very intensive.
On the ensemble´s history
Regular ballet evenings have been taking place in Radebeul since 1961, e.g. the GDR premiere of “Medusa” by Gottfried von Einem in 1972. Ballet mistress Eva Hennig left a strong mark on the company during her tenure from 1980 until 1993, as did ballet director Reiner Feistel, who even built up his own fan base from 1997 until 2013: every year, he choreographed two dance evenings for the main stage as well as the studio stage. The ensemble toured, with pieces such as “Tanz und Orgel” at the Meissen Cathedral and churches across Saxony and celebrated great successes for years with Feistel’s “Tänzerische Serenaden” in the Dresdner Zwinger. Before Feistel transferred as ballet director to Chemnitz, he stepped up to the plate and performed with his dancers at the Felsenbühne Rathen open air theatre (summer venue of the LBS).
Wagner Moreira was born 1977 in Brazil. In 1991 he began to study dance, which he continued in Germany. As a contemporary dancer, Wagner Moreira got the Ursula-Cain-promotional award in 2019. At the same time, he originated the format C.O.R.E. (Creating Opportunities of Research & Explorations) & CORE DANCE PROJECTS in cooperation with the choreographer Helena Fernandino. From 2003 until now he lives in Germany and works as a guest lecturer, performer and choreographer on several theatres, colleges and dance companies. In 2016 he got the Master of Arts Choreography at the Palucca college in Dresden, Saxony. For his work he received the DAAD award for particulary dedicated students from abroad. Since 2014 he is a member of the inclusive UN-label PAC/Köln.
„In the season 2021/22 we will dance between the tradition and the modern, between the past and the future. The longing for the dance, the encounter and for travels around the world, will constitute a program vibrating between Brazil, Germany and Russia, which offers new perspectives and new ways of thinking.”
