KUNST n’all returns from the holidays with two major announcements:

We’re now the official podcast of Staatsballett Hannover, under the artistic direction of Goyo Montero, and—starting this season—we’re welcoming a new member to our team!

At the same time, KUNST n’all will continue its original format: bringing you conversations with diverse voices from across the international dance world.

Season 2 will be a space where both strands meet — a place for deep artistic exchange, across disciplines and borders.

You can listen to our episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and now also on YouTube.

Episodes in collaboration with Staatsballett Hannover will also be available on the official Staatsoper Hannover website.

Welcome to Season 2!
