I am so excited to come to the Kiyosato Field Ballet this summer. I love coming to Japan, and I have not been able to for the last few years because of the pandemic. So I’m looking forward to first of all, performing with Chambre Ouest Ballet, but also taking in the beautiful views and seeing a new part of Japan.
Just like most Ballet dancers, I think, I have a strong connection with The Nutcracker. I used to perform in it as a child back home in Norway, and we also perform it almost every year with our company. I know this version is special to a lot of people as well, so I’m looking forward to being part of this new Nutcracker experience.
And of course I have to mention that it’s a dream to be dancing with my partner Mariko. Especially, since she goes far back with the Chambre Ouest Ballet, it’s going to be quite a special time I think!
So thank you for having me and I look forward to seeing everyone there.
