Rehearsal director Cullberg

Cullberg is the national and international repertoire contemporary dance company in Sweden, founded by Birgit Cullberg 1967, continuously co-creating to make contemporary dance relevant for the many. Together with choreographers and creative teams, we are exploring ideas on how dance can be defined, produced and presented. The core of the company consists of 17 extraordinary individual dancers with a central role in the creations. Cullberg’s works emerge from the times we are living in, as part of the socio-political environment including equality, diversity and sustainability. Cullberg is led by artistic director Kristine Slettevold and managing director Stina Dahlström. Cullberg is part of Riksteatern The Swedish National Touring Theatre.
