When someone is being interviewed, they always put their best face forward. “Real Talk” is designed to help young dancers and professionals by providing them with the whole truth about the problems faced by artists…on stage and off. A conversation with Katrin Hall, former Artistic Director of Iceland Dance Company (1996 \u2013 2012) and current artistic director of the G\u00f6teborgsOperans Danskompani in Sweden.<\/em><\/p>\n

I like dancers who\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

are strong individuals, passionate with a unique artistic voice and signature. I like artists that are creative and can contribute to a creative process, are generous and secure in their own skin yet humble.
