This week on KUNST n’all, we sit down with Seraphine Detscher — freelance dancer, choreographer, project leader, and the powerhouse behind Dresden’s 4roomsCompany and STUDIO 56.

From leaving her hometown of Heidelberg to becoming a mother while still a student, navigating company life as a single parent, and ultimately stepping into her own creative space — Seraphine shares a raw and honest look at the realities of balancing life, dance, and self-advocacy in the performing arts world.

We talk about: The intensity of company life, speaking up in an industry slow to change, what freelancing really looks like, Motherhood, movement, and making space for your voice

This is a story about resilience, reinvention, and reimagining the dance world on your own terms.

This week on KUNST n’all, we sit down with Alessandro Lucia Frola , Principal Dancer of the Hamburg Ballet, for a powerful and deeply personal conversation.

From their early days in Italy inspired by Billy Elliot to their transformative move to Germany, Alessandro Lucia opens up about the journey behind the artistry. We talk mentorship under John Neumeier, breaking gender norms in ballet, and the pressures of staying authentic in a tradition-heavy industry.

They share candid thoughts on the systemic challenges within the dance world, redefining legacy, and what it means to create a space where inclusion and wellbeing are as vital as technique.

Welcome back to KUNST n’all for Part 2 of our special solo episode series: KUNST n’Recap! In this no-guest format, it’s just us—Lorenzo, Francesco, and Nastazia—diving deeper into the behind-the-scenes of the podcast and the world around it.

In this second half, we continue unpacking our personal journeys, further explore the ballet industry’s dynamics, and share more candid thoughts on education, freelancing, and career shifts. We also answer the rest of your most curious and thoughtful listener questions in our Q&A session.

If you enjoyed Part 1, you won’t want to miss the rest of this honest, reflective, and inspiring conversation.
